## What it is
An Obsidian plugin that integrates the Excalidraw sketching and diagramming tool into Obsidian vaults. It lets users create, edit, store, and embed Excalidraw drawings, and link them to notes and other drawings.

## Use cases
- draw diagrams and sketches inside Obsidian notes
- embed hand-drawn illustrations into markdown documents
- create visual mind maps and whiteboards linked to my vault
- annotate PDFs and images with freehand drawings
- build visual personal knowledge management workflows
- sketch wireframes and flowcharts alongside my notes

## When to choose
- you already use Obsidian and want integrated sketching/diagramming
- you need drawings stored as files in your vault with wiki-style links
- you want a free, local, offline-capable whiteboard for visual thinking

## When to avoid
- you need diagramming outside of Obsidian
- you want a simple minimal drawing tool without a large feature surface
- you use a different note-taking app like Logseq or Notion
