Fleshing out a design for a tiny web app to track my workouts. Using #Excalidraw (@excalidraw), it's "forever open source" and has gotten really quite good.

The app I am making uses Vue and #PouchDB, a database running in the browser, with seamless sync to a #CouchDB server. The frontend can be hosted on a dumb CDN (or sightly less dumb serverless platform) while the data is stored on a server the user controls.

It is a #PWA so it even fully works offline. Really like this kind of setup.

I should be finishing my post on web components but I've been carried away making the demo pretty and creating #Excalidraw diagrams 🙈

Also this is a little embarrassing, but I didn't know how to do flat box shadows until a couple days ago! Gonna put that on everything now 🤩

#excalidraw is really cool.
I saw someone use it and though I might give it a try expecting to have to jump through some hoops.
But I go to the website and no signup, no subscription, no email, no bullshit, just "here is your canvas, have fun". I was in awe

@chriscochrun It isn't as smooth an integration between #Emacs and #Excalidraw as it is with Excalidraw and #obsidian but yes, they do integrate.

As far as I can tell it still requires Chromium browser to get it working but I'm ok with that.

I’ve recently started using an #iPad and #ApplePencil along with #Excalidraw to quickly prototype apps. So far it’s working well and suits my workflow.

Using a matte screen protector (Bellemond) really helps the feel of the pencil on the screen.

I've been sliding more and more towards visual note taking recently. I still have textual notes and journal and plan to keep that but find myself sketching and illustrating said notes and journal whenever I have enough time to do so. I also throw in pictures to my journal if I can.

My primary tool of choice for this is org-excalidraw which integrates the wonderful tool of #Excalidraw into #orgmode pretty nicely. I'd like to hear about your solutions if you are doing something similar.

Pour les utilisateurs de #whiteboard, est-ce que vous avez testé Excalidraw ?
Je l'utilise pour remplacer #Miro (qui deviendra un jour un outil avec un modèle pourri ou rempli d'IA)
#Excalidraw est open source et qu'il est possible de l'installer localement, c'est une grosse différence. L'équipe est en Europe aussi. Je vous partagerai mes retours prochainement, si vous l'utilisez je suis intéressé d'en discuter.

This #ProceduralBlending diagram for Haydn Space Opera is beginning to terrify me - & it seems it's beginning to terrify #excalidraw too because when I save, some of the longer arrows bounce back on themselves & stop being attached to where they should be - anyone else found this/found a fix for this? (possible solution: don't make your diagram so damn enormous, I know). So much clarity going on here though... #PracticeAsResearch #PracticeBasedResearch #obsidianMD #ArtisticResearch #phdlife

Just discovered #excalidraw in #obsidian and O...M...G. Currently using it for my early explorations using Iris Garrelfs' Procedural Blending to dig into how Haydn Space Opera came together. Amazing. It's a complicated piece to grasp all the bits of (& this isn't complete yet) - finding PB VERY helpful & loving being able to develop the diagram & have that embedded in & linking to my notes. (apologies to Iris for any PB errors here - early days yet, still working out the nuances) #phdlife

🌈 Scopriamo #AWS.

🚀 Lanciamo una sandbox con gli strumenti di A Cloud Guru, creiamo un Bucket S3, una Lamda Function ed un Api Gateway per poterla richiamare.

💎 Usiamo #Obsidian, strumento di second brain per prendere appunti sul tema.

🎨 Usiamo il suo plugin #Excalidraw e scopriamo le moltitudini di plugin che é possibile utilizzare per trasformare questo strumento in un vero e proprio #secondbrain 🧠

Working on a virtual "play mat" (the pale, wordy one with big character pictures) for a hack of the #CortexPrime #TTRPG. It's part DM screen, part player cheatsheet, and part #VTT, all done in #Excalidraw and inspired by twitch.tv/ghostlightrpgs (the brooding "Sin City" one)!

I love the interface of #excalidraw and the quality and look of drawings it produces. I don't love the hassle of file management with the free version, or paying $7/month to store graphs in their cloud. Are there any similarly straightforward #graph #drawing programs with better local storage? Draw.io is great but not really the same.

What I really want right now is flawless support of #Excalidraw inside #Emacs. I use org-excalidraw and it's close, but not quite there in displaying the images inside org-documents.

Or maybe I just want better .svg support in Emacs?

Was planning some stuff with @yagich@poto.cafe for our #NoDeck program made in #GodotEngine today and wow does the start of some #Excalidraw #planning

Doesn't at all betray the crime scene evidence board it will become lol.

Btw, for anyone who doesn't know about https://excalidraw.com/, it's seriously worth checking out. Great free collaborative planning tool.

Lastly I tried out #Excalidraw as a whiteboard to throw some pictures on in case I needed it. However as we ventured into a dungeon one of my players started using it as a mapping tool and it worked exceptionally well. The other players chimed in and collectively filled out the dungeon as they delved deeper and really helped with the engagement plus it really looks pretty good

Been creating diagrams with #excalidraw today.

This one depicts the relationship of virtual size and scroll offset in #Textual

#Python

#excalidraw needs a 'reset scale' button which takes everything and makes it fit into your screen at once at 100% or something
