Pretty Fish: A better mermaid diagram editor

https://d2lang.com/ is a nicer language than Mermaid with much nicer visual appearance. It would be great if it became more widely supported.

I actually like Mermaid’s text-based approach a lot and wouldn’t want to replace it with a visual editor.

Where I do see room for improvement is the rendering quality. A lot of diagrams end up looking a bit rough, especially with arrow routing and layout, which can feel somewhat arbitrary.

Better layout/rendering would probably add more value (for me at least) than improving the editing experience.

It's pretty but I don't know about better.

- How do you pan? Two finger sliding on the trackpad just zooms.

- Why does the diagram you're working on doesn't use all the remaining space? I picked one example and it's on a small-ish box with controls that don't seem to do anything and half of it is out the screen on the bottom

Ohh... the scroll metaphor... it's annoying. A bunch of tabs would have been better or even a one at a time with a tree somewhere.

There's too much fighting with layout where a plain interface would be better, something closer to https://mermaid.live/

How is this one better? I thought this was going to be a visual editor where you click and edit on the diagram itself. I don't seem to be able to do that here.

I will grant this: that's a brilliant name and domain.

The first thing I tried to do is resize that rectangle in the default diagram... and the resize handles do not affect the height, only the width. What is this "better" than?

- Write Mermaid diagrams with a live preview. - Arrange multiple diagrams on an infinite canvas. - Group diagrams into multi-page projects. - Better themes

How does the agent session thing work? Server-side you proxy requests to client via websockets or something? How does the agent see the client-side data?

I can't seem to change the colors of the pie chart, other than the predefined themes. But all of those are horrible for a pie chart.
