I use lucidchart for modelling a lot at work and find it really great for creating and managing lots of models.

However my work has a requirement to use code based tools - i.e. diagramming tools that enable us to use the code in markdown files like plantuml or mermaid.

It would be great if Lucid Chart supported exporting to an industry or defacto standard like mermaid.

I am a designer/PM hybrid. My team of developers wants to be able to export the results of our work sessions - process / flow diagrams specifically - into Mermaid code, so that we can feed this into an AI to help us more efficiently work through a feature.

I created a user journey flowchart in Lucid collaboratively with my team. In accordance with our transparency value, I now want to export it to a mermaid flowchart to add it to the epic I’m working on, so it’s available publicly and we can keep our Lucid document internal.

My first thought was that I could perhaps export my diagram to e.g. Mermaid. While I realize that I would lose some data, not having to recreate the flowcharts from zero would’ve already been enough of a time saver.

I didn’t use the SVG export because it’s not accessible at all, unfortunately, because the text is stored as SVG paths.
