Literally perfect. I really appreciate the way the canvas fades in (so many programs that use Excalidraw flash white before loading the canvas in).There’s a small bug where the cursor becomes misaligned with where you are drawing (it’ll draw below and to the left of where you actually are). Simply hiding and re-showing the list of folders will correct the position.My only request would be allowing the user to create a directory to store their files in. I know this can be difficult due to app sandboxing, but hopefully you can figure it out!
Developer Response
Thank you for your suggestion!And I'm pleased to inform you that the features you mentioned will be updated soon. ExcalidrawZ will soon support reading and writing files (in main app, not in an external individual window), as well as checkpoint and backup options to protect your local data.
Great!

Great app, but I did run into issues with uploading larger image files. It seems to automatically resize images, which renders text basically unreadable with larger images. I managed to get around it by chopping up the image into a bunch of smaller ones and kinda piecing them together like a jigsaw, but it would be great if there were support for image files without resizing them (or give the option to have the full-size image if you want to).
Super good

Keeps failing when I open files

any diagram crashes when I open them and try to modify something. The app displays an error and then it goes back to the folder view.
- Fixed an issue that made AI Chat, subscription purchases, and restoring purchases unavailable.
