Mermaid is a popular Javascript-based diagramming tool that renders Markdown-inspired text definitions to create and modify diagrams dynamically.
Mermaid enjoys widespread popularity and adoption in toolchains, but the text-based nature has often made it complicated for non-technical people to use.
Memrmaid Chart is a company built by some of the maintainers of open-source Mermaid. It aims to bring a more user-friendly interface to Mermaid syntax, ideal for collaboration and sharing of diagrams and charts.
