Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Excalidraw is a popular plugin allowing you to draw stuff yourself
  • Thanks ! I used Excalidraw
  • Obsidian community plugins excalidraw for a digital canvas to draw on or take handwritten notes
  • Excalidraw - Obsidian canvas doesn't have a "back of the note" option. The excalidraw plugin let's you hit a hotkey to "flip" a text note to visual side
  • Excalidraw drawings now show as feature images in the list pane.

Cons

  • To visualize structure I use draw.io, you may be using excalidraw or canvas, but they all have the problem that they aren't well integrated into the system. They are mostly monolithic solutions and don't break the idea of structural rela...
  • Chronos timelines, Excalidraw etc should do the job.
  • There is also excalidraw which is a bit more robust but I also found it clunky to use
  • A guess Excalidraw???
  • You can also use excalidraw to handwritten directly into obsidian.  But it’s not as user friendly

To visualize structure I use draw.io, you may be using excalidraw or canvas, but they all have the problem that they aren't well integrated into the system. They are mostly monolithic solutions and don't break the idea of structural relations down into smaller pieces.
