This looks amazing. I find Mermaid.js ugly and the syntax difficult/buggy but unfortunately it's one of the best supported diagram tools in static site generators. It'd be awesome to have Isoflow diagrams embedded in Markdown like that.

I love the idea of mermaid but the syntax is somewhat convolutes and the integrations in tools like GitLab are very unstable.

Thanks! That'd definitely be interesting to look into, I'll put it on my TODO

Markdown integration would be really great.

That's more of a takedown of whoever built the Gitlab tool than Mermaid itself.

In the world where LLM's are very good at mermaid diagrams is the syntax even that terribly important?

What a terrible take

I had the same issue. I found this and it works decently well and OSS.

I’d argue even necessary for success.

I don't know why, but I find the syntax pretty decent when you get used to it. It's declarative.
