And in google docs!

https://workspace.google.com/marketplace/app/mermaid/6363212...

The interface is a bit clunky (when the diagram text is invalid, you see markup) but it makes it easy to create diagrams that are embeddable in Google docs without reaching for google draw.


I don't know about the others, but Azure DevOps' mermaid support is several releases out of date, or custom-limited to certain features. This means a lot of the examples in the official docs or elsewhere online don't work.

But what is most frustrating is that they don't document what features or version of mermaid they actually support. Microsoft gives a couple examples with links to official Mermaid docs, with a huge vague warning that _some_ things won't work in DevOps.


Mermaid has experimental support for C4 - https://mermaid.js.org/syntax/c4c.html


Hungary desperately needs EU funds and it would have lost several billion euros is it had blocked this.


EdgeDB & EdgeQL would be one good example.

Agreed, EdgeDB[0] looks to be trying to solve a lot of SQL's perceived flaws with EdgeQL[1]. It's not the first attempt and I suspect it won't be the last but composability is explicitly one of the challenges it addresses.

For a visual tool I'd recommend giving IcePanel [0] a try.

For the diagrams as code solution, happily it looks like mermaid will soon support C4 [1] so their should be native support in lots of places soon (github, gitlab and lots more have built in support for mermaid)

For Run some or the the reasons I have it installed everywhere are:

> What does PowerToys Run do that the standard WIN+R run dialog doesn't?

-- Autocomplete

-- Search files, settings, services, the registy and more (all of these can be enabled, disabled or assigned to a shortcut e.g. settings is $ for me)

-- Open windows terminal with specific shell

-- Walk open windows, allow you to search currently open applications and browsers

> Or just hitting the WIN key to get the search dialog?

-- Not constantly try and open Bing and/or Edge


Here is the very first sentence from https://dotnet.microsoft.com:

"Free. Cross-platform. Open source. A developer platform for building all your apps."

The download page for .NET which includes downloads for Windows, MacOS and Linux is https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download

What the GP meant is exactly what they said, "C# and .net 6 are not windows-centric.", sadly it shares a name with .Net Framework which was windows centric.


Is anyone providing unofficial builds of Fuchsia? I can see from the article the requirement is to build it yourself but I'm lazy/time poor and I'd really like to try runnning Fuchsia in an emulator.


This is a great tool and I'd happily pay for the addon features but a subscription pricing model really doesn't work for me. If the developer's reading please have a buy option so I can give you some money :)


The app can be installed for free as a standalone app through the installer listed on GitHub.


I know, it's always free to install but to unlock the addon features (e.g. keyboard shortcuts) requires a subscription.


Oh jeez, I didn’t realize. I didn’t run into the limitations… yet!
