   Mermaid works great for fixed layouts like sequence diagrams and Gantts. For flowcharts, where position is king, it's bad.

   I've tried using svg in my MD files but they get unwieldy quite fast. This is a great idea. My first reaction was - but what's if I need something more exact. But reflecting on it, I've realized that this relative positioning is probably enough.

      Agreed. Next diagram I make I’m taking a photo of a whiteboard and letting AI figure out relative positioning

         That sounds very cool :)
