    • A few weeks ago /u/jerrocks and /u/software__writer had ben talking about Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) tools. This was from a post about designing DB relationships. mermaid.js had come up, and it was the first I'd ever heard about this awesome tool. Only recently back in 2020 had ERD support been added -- previously this library did flowcharts and gantt stuff and so forth. After digging in, being impressed, and learning some PlantUML, I added support to show mini-ERDs in The Brick.
