I feel like there should be a gem that makes a packwerk graph visualization in mermaid js. There are 2 reasons this would be awesome

  1. Mermaid can be rendered in github markdown
  2. Mermaid supports links. I’m imagining a clickable navigation to my readme

Might be a nice addition to https://github.com/rubyatscale/visualize_packwerk :raised_hands: !

funny enough, my team built an internal tool that does exactly that. Unfortunately we kind of stalled in few ways:

  1. legal - we haven’t open sourced anything yet, so it was an uphill battle that didn’t take priority
  2. we use gitlab, and last I checked the mermaid linking doesn’t work there so much of the utility was lost.

our tool generates a readme (or if one exists, it replaces a magic comment) for each pack with the pack graph as well as ERDs. I’ll try to reignite the open source discussions in a bit
