Mermaid visual editor
This is the answer to the most common objection to text diagrams: that not everyone on the team will write syntax. The visual editor produces ordinary Mermaid source, so the diagram stays diffable even though nobody typed it.
#Why it matters
A team that adopts Mermaid usually splits: the engineers write source happily, and everyone else stops contributing. That is how a diagram goes stale. The visual editor removes the split without giving up the benefits of text.
#What you can build
Flowcharts, sequence diagrams and the other common Mermaid types, edited by adding nodes and connections directly.
The source is the record either way. Switch to the text editor at any point and you will find ordinary Mermaid, editable by hand.
#A few things that catch people out
Not every Mermaid feature has a visual control. The rarer syntax still needs the text editor.
Round-tripping is safe: hand-written source opens in the visual editor, and visual edits stay readable as text.
It writes Mermaid, so everything in the Mermaid reference applies unchanged.
