asciiflow VS Mermaid

And https://github.com/lewish/asciiflow if you’re searching a web version.

This is perhaps a tangent, but I've used https://asciiflow.com/#/ a few times now to insert diagrams into my source code as comments. I understand people might have negative opinions on the efficacy of comments that this would only exacerbate, but nevertheless I've appreciated what AsciiFlow gave me.

Strange that a pretty common way to serve static sites is not mentioned: Multi-stage Docker builds [e.g. 1] an nginx-alpine image in Gitlab CI, that is automatically deployed to Kubernetes/a Docker host somewhere.

I like the idea of ASCII diagram editors but... Mac only and doesn't actually use ASCII as it's format? However shiny it's interface may be that seems to defeat the purpose of the portability you are supposed to get.

I've been using https://asciiflow.com/#/ to make and edit simple diagrams, it's fairly basic but sufficient for 90% of what I want so far.

Could have something a little more usable if you pasted into a tool like https://asciiflow.com/ and then copied your edits back into source.

Or an editor plugin with something like the automatic table formatting you get with emacs org-mode.

This is interesting, but I personally really like that markdown is almost as legible as plain text as when rendered, which things like this sort of break.

So I think I'd prefer ASCII art diagrams for this sort of thing. (In fact there was recently an ASCII diagram drawing tool on the front page, https://asciiflow.com/ )

The script will generate a random dungeon in Mermaid syntax, which can then easily be edited or converted to a map with a Mermaid editor such as Mermaid Live Editor

The Gantt appearance is modified by using customizable themes and defining a number of CSS classes. There are 3 rendering options for your Gantt chart: SVG, PNG, or a Markdown link that can be inserted into docs. Even people without any coding background can create a Gantt chart and other diagrams using the Mermaid Live Editor. Interestingly, GitHub added native support for Mermaid in order to help developers quickly generate diagrams in their open source projects.

If you want to focus on content instead of micro alignments and size adjustments, check out mermaid. It’s programmatic (you generate diagrams from text), plays nicely with git (you can meaningfully commit and track changes to diagrams), supports several diagram types, has built in support in GitLab and GitHub, and the syntax is easy to follow and get used to.

That's sort of what https://flowchart.fun is. Although, it doesn't have as many graph types as PlantUML. Mermaid also has https://mermaid.live/ running in the browser.

Diagrams.net (formerly draw.io) is an infinite-canvas diagramming tool that is web-based but you have control of the source files. You might also like Mermaid which is a markdown-like language that compiles to all kinds of charts and diagrams. I find generating diagrams to be a much more scalable way rather than trying to move everything around by hand so it all fits and looks nice. At some point you will want to squeeze something in the middle and it'll be a nightmare.

Maybe mermaid live would work for you? https://mermaid.live/
