I’m an avid user of mermaid but am constantly annoyed by their limitation that subgraphs do not follow direction if any internal nodes are connected to the outside. So I asked Claude to add a new syntax called stack layout and it seems to work pretty elegantly.

I also fixed my annoyance with mermaid.live and allowed this playground to save snapshots in your local storage as well. Happy to add more storage features if anyone’s interested!
