## Who we are

pele.wiki is made by [En Dash Consulting](https://endash.us), who also make [handwired.wiki](https://handwired.wiki). It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Obsidian or kepano.

## How the demos work

Every demo runs a pinned version of the real `pele` package from npm, currently 1.6.0, and, where compared, the real Mermaid.js 12.1.0 with `securityLevel: 'strict'` and its `base` theme coloured to match this site. Times are measured in your browser, so they depend on your device.
