ExcalidrawZ: Local Native Excalidraw on macOS/iOS

Excalidraw has an NPM package!: npmjs.com/package/@excalidraw/excalidraw

It is very easy in my experience to set up a local npm project that's just an empty HTML with Excalidraw inside, working fully locally - great if you're behind some firewall or similar network isolation.

If this improves the Apple Pencil experience this could be a great improvement. Would be nice if this could be tied into Obsidian to replace the web based version somehow.

The browser based ink/drawing support on iOS devices is pretty bad (and hard to fix since Apple doesn’t expose the ink APIs in JS from my understanding).

already exists via emacs =P https://github.com/yibie/excali-mode

Honestly, that looks quite good and every feature is really welcome. Kudos!

From what I can tell, this project

* Steals the brand name from a tool I love

* Seems like it is intended to replace the original, not an extension/plugin

* Smells vibe-coded (which raises the question as to its quality)

I'll keep using (and paying for!) the original, thanks.

did you just steal their brand name? or what am i missing

4yr old ? installed it via mac appstore. hope u dont steal my api keys
