Michael Bourgon tries out Mermaid:
Just found out about this the past month.
I like diagrams for my documentation, and I detest making it. I also would like to build it via script, since that’s more useful.
I used Mermaid to create a series of architectural diagrams a couple years back. It was a reasonably good experience, although you have to keep in mind that you don’t get pixel-perfect designs and certain concepts can be difficult to represent. Even so, it’s quite alright for straightforward diagrams and includes support for icon sets for a variety of cloud and on-premises environments.
