I always liked D2 more than mermaid, except IMO, this makes grid layouts essentially useless: https://github.com/terrastruct/d2/issues/1164

Having to figure out the exact pixel widths defeats the point of these tools, at least for me.

Thanks! Good to know, we'll slot this for 0.7.2 (next release)

Oh that is awesome! I would really appreciate it!

Could you also get d2 into GitHub and Notion while you have it here :)
