Fair point. I added basic mermaid parsing to the library so you can do that here too.

    $ echo 'flowchart LR
        web([Frontend])
        subgraph platform [Cloud Platform]
          api([API Server])
          db[(Database)]
          api --> db
        end
        web -->|HTTPS| api' | npx box-of-rain --mermaid
