Unlike traditional tools that require a Java-based backend or cloud processing, ReRender parses and calculates diagram layouts directly in your browser using a custom local layout engine. It provides a reactive editing experience where users can visualize complex workflows, system architectures, and technical hierarchies in real-time. Key functionalities include advanced WBS modeling, complex activity parsing, and a modular architecture that ensures speed, privacy, and reliability. ⚠️ DISCLAIMER ReRender is an independent project and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by the official PlantUML project or its creators. It is a separate implementation of the PlantUML syntax designed for modern web and mobile environments.
