MERMAID / EDITOR

The problem

Flowcharts often get drawn right before a meeting, when the structure is still changing and the tool becomes the work. This Demo starts with text, so changing a path or node does not require rearranging a canvas.

What it does

• Use graph TD or graph LR to define direction.
• Use square, round, and diamond nodes for different semantics.
• Render Pipeline, Review, and API Flow examples live.

Technical direction

The text-to-diagram experience is informed by Mermaid Live Editor. This version uses a small local parser and SVG output to show the core interaction without copying the full editor.

Outcome

“Drawing” becomes a text asset that can be versioned, copied, and changed quickly.
