One week later, Pele is already in dozens of apps including Obsidian 1.15! Many improvements this week: - Even faster rendering! - Math resolver support: KaTeX, MathJax, Temml, etc - Gradients in sankey diagrams - Fewer edge crossings in diagrams with subgraphs - Sub, sup and inline code in labels

may I ask what your development process has been? i was told it's AI-assisted, but i assume you've been intimately involved throughout (ie, it's not vibed). i'm particularly curious about the performance enhancements. I assume you didn't just say "make it fast", which means you must have been

at least 90% of the improvement comes from architecture and focus since I am starting from scratch I don't have 14 years of baggage and backward compatibility to deal with my approach for performance is similar to the "Page Load Test" (PLT) benchmark the Safari team used, see bench:mermaid in Pele
