What is a Mermaid diagram?
Mermaid diagramming is a Javascript-based diagramming tool that generates UML diagrams, mind maps, flowcharts, and more using markdown-inspired text syntax code.
How is it useful inside Vani?
Inside Vani, Mermaid works directly on the infinite canvas, so your diagrams, documentation, discussions, and project planning stay in the same workspace.
You can create diagrams, review them with your team in real time, update the syntax instantly, and move from planning to execution without switching platforms.
Why software teams use Mermaid diagrams inside Vani

Mermaid diagrams for documentation
Technical diagrams rarely live alone. Teams also need documentation, notes, tickets, requirements, and discussions around them. With Mermaid in Vani, your diagrams stay connected to the rest of your project work on one infinite canvas.
