Neat, but you can just do this in mermaid too. Taking one of your examples:
<mermaid>
flowchart LR
web([Frontend])
subgraph platform [Cloud Platform]
api([API Server])
db[(Database)]
api --> db
end
web -->|HTTPS| api
</mermaid>
If you install the latest https://oj-hn.com , you can see it rendered inline here.
First off, let me say it is awesome you're doing something like this.
But... I'm encountering a similar issue on both Chrome and Firefox on Leenucks. I guess it's possible you don't see the problem on your Mac because both these browsers use the OS to do font rendering.
Unfortunately even if you pick nominally-equal-width glyphs, on the web you can still get screwed over by font substitution/fallback done by the browser.
Yup! We’re just one link in the chain (bands, tapers, archivists, & the listeners), but I appreciate the sentiment. Alec and I have been running Relisten for over a decade and we’ve put a lot of work into it these past few years.

Nice work! Love it.
On my system the "right arrow" glyph is 2 units wide and breaks all the layouts.

TIL about ambiguous width unicode characters. Turns out some locales render these chars as double width. I'm attempting to work out a solution.
Seems like maybe there are some universal half-width characters that can be used.

Weird. Same issue with NL-locale @ firefox, while terminal is ok. So it is not confined to East-Asian locales if that is what you think.

same in my Brave Browser, why not stick to nomal Ascii?
I'm just here for the Grateful Dead reference.
Holy moly -- you're behind Relisten, OP? I owe you a great debt of gratitude for the hours of musical joy Relisten has given me.

Had to give the Dead a little nod here
Too true! Feels extra nice to be able to spread the sentiment of gratitude so far and wide. Keep it up!
