    What a fantastic idea! I love using excalidraw and I've used it for making slides by just screenshotting and manually editing, this is so much nicer. I really like the example of following a flowchart as well.

    One small nit - in your video you use some naughty words, if you're looking to sell this I'd consider dropping that. I probably can't share the video with my colleagues, for example

      i'm glad you like it! for the naughty words, it a list of quote from my fav show, slicon valley, but yeah, i will do it better next times. appreciate your feedback.

        i think youtube allows you to blur some parts of your video

        in case you don’t want to recreate the video

      This looks great! I love that it builds on top of existing tools has so many kinds of export already. Thank you so much for sharing it - I'm always looking for good tools for quick animation and presentations.

      Like you, I'm a big fan of Keynote. It would be amazing to have Keynote-style smooth animation here too (tweening, easing curves, Magic Move, etc.), though I'm sure it would be a huge project in itself.

        glad you like it! the animation features is interesting, noted.

        Super neat! I made something similar with tldraw for presentations at my company, definitely not as clean as this! I'll be sure to give it a try for my next one

          you're welcome

        • foz 5 months ago

          really nice! do you support onion-skinning for building smoother animations? Motion paths would be cool too. Ok enough ideas, it's a great project already!

          • mephitix 5 months ago

            +1, onion skinning was the first thing i was looking for given it was billed as a way to create animation.

            Anyway, nice project, cool to see excalidraw hosted like this.

              Yeh, and duplicate slide option? I may be missing it, on iPad…

            • chunza2542 5 months ago

              noted!

              I primarily use excalidraw via a plugin for obsidian, I wonder what amount of effort it would take to get it running on that.

              • chunza2542 4 months ago

                could you share the use case or elaborate more? (if you want to embed the content there you can edit on the web and export as iframe)

                  It's really a great tool, well done! I enjoy using Excalidraw, and this tool makes a lot of sense, especially with the gif feature. However, would developing such an application cause any licensing issues?

                  • chunza2542 4 months ago

                    no licensing issues. Excalidraw is published under MIT license. if my project keeps developing, we can contribute some parts back to Excalidraw. this is a win-win.

                    this looks amazing, can't wait to use it for my next articles

                    also nice job on the video demo, was it made using inscribed? :p

                    • chunza2542 5 months ago

                      screen studio + capcut + epidermic sound (and a little bit of inscribed xd)

                      Wow, it looks really easy to use.

                      • chunza2542 5 months ago

                        thanks man

                        Pretty cool. I love Excalidraw and use it all the time, this is a nice addition :-)
