IMO mermaid is awesome, but for two somewhat indirect reasons:

- There’s an almost wysiwig editor for mermaid at https://www.mermaidchart.com/play . It’s very convenient and appropriately changes the layout as you draw arrows!

- Notion supports inline mermaid charts in code blocks (with preview!) It’s awesome for putting some architecture diagrams in Eng docs.

Obsidian also supports inline mermaid charts in markdown code blocks. One of those features I don't see mentioned much.

LLMs (I use ChatGPT) can take a generic process description, spit out the result in mermaid, which can then be imported and refined in something like draw.io. Yes, you’ll have to correct a few things by hand, but it drastically speeds things up. Last time I check draw.io is supported in obsidian.

I recently tried this, but the import to draw.io did not go well. It imported as a single static image rather an editable diagram. Maybe I did something wrong?

Usually in such cases either copy and paste the error message from draw.io, or screenshot it and upload to chatGPT. It will debug it for you.

There’s also a specific sequence of steps to import mermaid scripts, I don’t remember the menu location by heart, ChatGPT can also give you the steps needed to do this.

github / gitlab too!

Supernotes too!

Github supports inline mermaid charts, too!

I've been starting to include them in my bigger PRs and reviewers really like them.

About Notion, they do indeed support Mermaid, but their included version is quite obsolete and they don’t seems so eager to update it. A shame.

Hugo does this as well.
