Still a bit rough around the edges, but already useful!

You can use our MCP for generating diagrams with local context.

Lucky that everyone thought the live key would be deleted after recording to even try, because it most definitely was not...

API for your Excalidraw+ workspace has been recently released to public beta.

Here's how to streamline invites using MCP ↓

One bench's trash is another bench's treasure.

I do like Opus so far, and GPT 5.5 was letting me down lately.

Always a good idea to run the same prompts in both models and compare the blind spots of each.

[Navid Pour @navidkpr]

@dluzar We tested them on 20 hour long coding tasks on Frontier SWE. Opus 4.8 performed slightly better than GPT 5.5

[David Luzar (dwelle) @dluzar]

@serenaa_ge Opus slipping further down in general reasoning.

Is Google gonna get to AGI first through world models?

[David Luzar (dwelle) @dluzar]

Opus 4.8 still falling behind GPT 5.5.

[David Luzar (dwelle) @dluzar]

No point using the max level, xhigh is enough, cheaper, and faster.

Guests can now add comments to shared Excalidraw+ scenes! 🚀

Note that you can change guest permissions, including commenting, as you need.

@GergelyOrosz While bots can solve it easily.

[David Luzar (dwelle) @dluzar]

To be fair, we should move to the implicit corner rotation as well.

Good visualization.

[Steve Ruiz @steveruizok]

I was curious about how design apps differ in their edge / corner / rotate hit areas, so I wrote a script to move my mouse in a 50x50 grid and track what the cursor was.

[Excalidraw @excalidraw]

We now support overlap selection mode.

Should we make it the default?

[David Luzar (dwelle) @dluzar]

@mrazator @harfbuzz Pretty much, but with nicer, more generic API (and more browser-faithful line breaks - what I'm hearing).

It works on Node fine with a polyfill (but then so do we).

Other than that, your implem is nailing it too :).

hi, btw! 👋

[David Luzar (dwelle) @dluzar]

@seflless Would it have a avoidance relationship, or just anything that happens to overlap?

The issue with non-rectangular text avoidance in canvas apps is the editing stage. Either you have massive layout shift, or you need to implement canvas-based editor.

[David Luzar (dwelle) @dluzar]

Quick POC for text wrapping to exact shape outlines in Excalidraw.

My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces):

I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept):
Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow

[stevibe @stevibe]

your physics textbook is not boring anymore

Hooke's Law with live text reflow around an actual bouncing simulation. 60fps. zero layout thrashing.

@_chenglou what have you unleashed

[David Luzar (dwelle) @dluzar]

Ah, I was preparing to get rid of skia-canvas already...
