Does the official Mermaid library still require a full or headless browser environment in order to lay out the SVG? If so, Pele is great news for embedding Mermaid rendering in other places.

There is also Merman on Github that outputs a SVG.

That project is just Claude run rampant. Actually attempt to read this:

Very nice, bookmarked. I built something similar as an Astro plugin using svgdom: https://better-static-sites.github.io/build-tools/mermaid/

It still boggles my mind that mermaid's devs think you need an entire freakin' browser to render an SVG. Sometimes I think people need to be reminded of the fundamentals.

The python mermaidx library works for this, which works well for generating documentation with embedded diagrams as part of CI/CD but the layout/rendering can sometimes be very wonky. For instance I will have a bunch of connections crossing over each other instead of neatly arranged to avoid it. Changing the layout settings does not fix it so sometimes I will just export it from mmdc and embed a png.

This is interesting because it demonstrates that Racket can be used for an iOS app.

This seems like an understated gotcha.

I've been developing in Swift on iOS/macOS/tvOS since it launched and I switched from back-end Java. Currently deep into SwiftUI and exploring DSL/API design with ResultBuilders.

Building tools and bridging technologies are my passion.

Anyone want to leverage Omnigraffle as a programming tool? Reverse engineering the file format and writing plugins are a current project.

Yes, being allergic to mosquito bites, I haven't been able to be in my yard for more than 5 minutes for the last 2 or 3 years.

Where I live in Southern California outdoor cats are socially discouraged because they often end up as coyote food.

every time I see a missing pet poster in California that's what I think of

occasionally you'll hear a harrowing mad scramble in the street, and I'm thinking "it's happening"

The link to KS is in the video description (and I think HN is spam filtering direct KS links).

I couldn't find a better landing plage for this.
