A Go-based CLI tool that renders Mermaid diagram definitions as ASCII art directly in the terminal. It also offers an interactive web interface and an HTTP API for rendering diagrams.

Use cases

  • render mermaid diagrams in the terminal
  • convert mermaid graph syntax to ascii art
  • preview flowcharts without a browser
  • view diagrams over ssh
  • render mermaid diagrams via an http api

When to choose

  • you work in a terminal or over ssh and need quick diagram previews
  • you want ascii diagrams for docs, code comments, or commit messages
  • you prefer a lightweight binary with no browser needed

When to avoid

  • you need full mermaid feature support or pixel-perfect rendering
  • you need export to images or svg
  • your diagrams rely on advanced mermaid features not supported by ascii output
