Elements snapping is great, looking forward to having it for resizing too.

As someone that used Mermaid with Obsidian almost from the beginning, I'm quite excited about this inclusion.

[ryanbartlett]

Magician continues to read my mind! Sequence Diagrams next please.

This is very nice. Please make one video on all the scripts and their creative usecases for visual knowledge development that is useful.

This is such an amazing add-on to Obsidian. I take notes the handwritten way using Samsung Notes. The biggest feature in Samsung Notes is handwriting recognition, which makes it easier to search up anything. I have a feature request: Are you planning on having OCR at some point? If I can have handwriting recognition in Excalidraw, searchable universally in Obsidian, I'd have no reason to use any other note-taking apps again.

Looks great! Thanks for all your efforts.

Hi there, thanks a lot for your plugin!

I have a question that I don't know where to ask. Is there a way to add external file links and embed external images into the Excalidraw drawing?
I have many projects with tons of files in various formats from bitmap and vector to spreadsheets and pdfs. They are all organized in the folders and follow my personal naming convention. Renaming and moving them all into an Obsidian vault is too difficult. Not to mention the majority of them cannot be edited in Obsidian and will never have links to them in any of my Obsidian notes.

Hi Zsolt, I know this is a crazy petition but, do you think you could develop Excalidraw for Anytype? or at least consider it.

You can never have enough diagram types. 😄
