Show HN: Line9 – A Mermaid rendering engine with its own layoutLine9 is a new rendering engine for Mermaid flowchart diagrams that aims to remove the need for manual adjustment of layout. Mermaid is a popular text-based language for describing multiple types of diagrams.Several Mermaid rendering engines already exist. Most, like the original mermaid.js, use Dagre or ELK graph drawing libraries to automatically lay out their diagrams. I’ve used Mermaid for the past four years but often recreated my flowcharts in a diagram editor so that I could modify the layout to something that better suited my needs.Use Line9 when you want an automatic flowchart arrangement that optimises for clear communication. It seeks to layout flowcharts with regular grid spacing, closer positioning of related nodes, shorter, straighter edges and targets a page-like aspect ratio. The Compare button in the /diagram page (share panel on the left) shows you the Line9 and mermaid.js renders next to each other.Use for free, no account required. A CLI tool can also be downloaded
