  At first I thought this was drawio: https://www.drawio.com/ with which you can generate a schema diagram from SQL. Is this the other way around.

  For anyone who is willing to use a webapp, I like drawio[0]. You can download locally[1] and self host (I just use the python webserver).

  While finding the Github, I see they now actually package an Electron application, so that is probably worth exploring[2].

• Mastering Diagrams: A Professional Approach to Enhancing Visuals with ChatGPT and Mermaid
  1 project | dev.to | 22 Sep 2023

  Another way that you can leverage the power of ChatGPT and mermaid is when you are using a software designing tool such as Draw.io and you want to skip the tedious task of creating a diagram from scratch and want to get a push at the begging and save your time for the creative part of the diagram.

  There are also mockups with more features, so ignore weird UI at first.

  Here's an issue that was opened:

  > The file for converting the mermaid code to mxgaph xml is available only in minified version. the unminified version "mermaid2drawio.js" is missing. Please include that.

  Answer:

  > We do not supply the source to that file.

  With such phrasing, for now, I'll consider drawio proprietary with some parts in Apache 2 (even if it's actually the majority of the code).

  It might be possible to have a fork with some optional features related to these non provided files removed, if by luck no critical feature is impacted.

• Do you use an external game visual flow tool for planning purposes? If so, what is it and why do you like it?
  1 project | /r/IndieDev | 8 Aug 2023

  Specifically I've been working on an incremental game and I've been using https://www.drawio.com/ to help me plan out what I want the progression of features/unlocks to be as the player progresses through the game, what pre-requirements/events are for each feature/unlock, etc.
