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.

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