How is the LaTeX compatibility? Base mermaid's LaTeX compatibility is quite sparse.

I love ASCII diagrams! The fact that I can write a diagram that looks equally wonderful in my terminal via cat as it does rendered on my website is incredible.

A good monospaced font and they can look really sharp!

I will definitely give this tool a shot.

I will also shout out monodraw as a really nice little application for building generic ASCII diagrams- https://monodraw.helftone.com/

The live demo requires some download of an AI agent platform? I'd really like to try this but not if that's what's required.

The devs should really setup a client-only GitHub Pages for an accessible demo. Judging from skimming the project itself, it's definitely doable without locking into their platform.

Pair this with Unicode plots[0] and you're set!
