Super cool. Do you consider yourself to be a competitor with Mermaid?

Thanks! I would say no. Mermaid is strongly code-first diagramming, which is an excellent usecase and niche in its own right. I would be surprised if Mermaid ended up with a WYSIWYG editor on top of it, since that is pretty counter to its philosophy (as far as I understand anyway).
