:bulb: DrawIO #32

Open STSMHQ opened 5 days ago

STSMHQ commented 5 days ago

Hi, @nienow,

To begin with, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the time and effort you have devoted to this project. I use it every day, and it is remarkably impressive.

I'm opening this Issue to ask whether it would be feasible for you to create a similar extension focused on DrawIO. As far as I am aware, it is also FOSS, and it is also a remarkable tool for prototyping.

Thank you in advance, STSM

@STSMHQ It looks like draw.io is not built as a library, but a standalone webapp. From their github page, it even says:

draw.io is not suitable as a framework for building other products from. For this try either Tldraw or Excalidraw.

This probably means it would be complex, or may not be possible to integrate into standard notes.

I see. Well, thank you very much for the quick answer, @nienow. Considering this and the fact that Tldraw includes several unique features that Excalidraw lacks, is it possible to explore the possibility of developing a Standard Notes extension for Tldraw as well? Having both options within Standard Notes would be quite beneficial for me (and I'm pretty sure for others as well).

As a paid user, I would regard this feature as advantageous, even if it is exclusively part of the official repository. The availability of custom editors is a significant reason for why I use Standard Notes, and the one I utilize most frequently is your editor for Excalidraw.

If you opt to advance with this concept, please let me know, as I wish to follow your commits. While my experience in software development is quite limited, I would appreciate the opportunity to learn from your expertise.

There is already an extension for Tldraw:

It doesn't look like it has been updated recently, though, so probably on an older version of tldraw. Maybe I could submit a PR to update it.

Unfortunately, it appears to be abandoned, as indicated by Issue 6.

Maybe I could submit a PR to update it.

That would be awesome! If you really opt to advance with that or decide to create your own repository, kindly give me a shout. As I said before, I’d like to follow your commits/work regarding this topic.
