To be honest – I have not really used Playhouse since I published it 4 months ago.

Just now, I needed to test mermaid rendering in #WebKitGTK to build a “lightweight” renderer for Apostrophe.

It was very satisfying to use Playhouse for that.

If you're curious:

Mermaid

Apostrophe

I ended up making a CLI and #pandoc filter to render Mermaid to SVG.

Doesn't do as much but thanks to #WebKitGTK it's 50% faster than Mermaid tools.

Tomorrow I'll test the integration with Apostrophe.

Mermaid preview in Apostrophe.

BTW this is Apostrophe libadwaita/GTK4 - looks and feels great - kudos @escapistes
