I am somewhat maintaining a list of text to diagram tools at https://xosh.org/text-to-diagram/ (will add this one too) These are two other dedicated tools I have on the list https://app.quickdatabasediagrams.com/#/ https://dbdiagram.io/d
2. You should really work on error handling. I went to /app and tried changing the name of the CustomerID column, and nothing happened. I tried changing something else and it didn’t work either. It should tell me that the other table is mentioning a non-existent column and the input is invalid.

Unrelatedly, could you do me a favor and update #14 https://cascade.page to https://markwhen.com? I renamed it and moved domains.
Jetbrains has their own mermaid plugin they started working on recently, and honestly, I’ve found mermaid to be really all I need. https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/20146-mermaid/reviews
From what I can tell, a lot of these tools seem OK for capturing relatively simple database designs, but at least "look" fairly inadequate for more robust needs. This makes sense if you're trying to use a GUI for creating a database: there's going to be limits to how much you can accomplish easily with that approach so being robust for smaller databases works out. Most of the time I want an ERD tool it's to capture a…
Thanks! I was writing a FastAPI/SQLAlchemy+SQLModel/Rocketry app this week and dreaded documenting my model relationships. That said, I see a few SQLAlchemy extensions and Pydantic→Mermaid projects that can probably be used in my case, and that was the route I was initially planning on going down despite none of them being aesthetically pleasing. Many of these online tools reasonably rely on human input to place tabl…
Agree, We could do some improvements to Auto-Layout. Our tool does remember your layout adjustments

I've used Mermaid, partly because it integrates well in both GitHub and Notion. It's fine, quite featureful really, but the lack of any ability to control layout properly makes complex schemas quite a mess when rendered. Not sure how others of these declarative, text-based engines deal with that.
1. Why not just use SQL? 2. You should really work on error handling. I went to /app and tried changing the name of the CustomerID column, and nothing happened. I tried changing something else and it didn’t work either. It should tell me that the other table is mentioning a non-existent column and the input is invalid.
2. I tested it out. When i attempt to change CustomerID it does show a error toast in the bottom saying FK reference is invalid. Not sure, why its not showing up for you. Which browser are you using ?
Is it possible to resize a table in the diagram? I work on a database that has a column name of "order_module_order_num" and if you try putting that in the text doesn't fit. The text runs into the data type.
