Mermaid (Flowchart maker)

Mermaid is a simple text-based tool that lets you create diagrams and flowcharts using plain code. It turns short lines of text into clean, visual charts without needing design software.

Key points:

• Syntax-based: You describe your chart using text commands (for example, A --> B to show a connection).
• Supports many diagram types: Flowcharts, sequence diagrams, class diagrams, Gantt charts, and more.
• Lightweight: Runs directly in Markdown files, websites, or documentation tools like GitHub, Notion, and Obsidian.
• Easy to edit: Update one line of text and the chart refreshes automatically.
• Developer-friendly: Works well in technical documentation, wikis, and project plans.
