## What it is
Ink is an Obsidian plugin that lets users handwrite or draw with a stylus or Apple Pencil directly between paragraphs in their notes. It is built on the tldraw framework and provides an infinite canvas for sketches, handwriting, math notation, and diagrams.

## Use cases
- handwrite notes with a stylus in obsidian
- draw sketches between paragraphs in my notes
- write math equations by hand in obsidian
- annotate notes with apple pencil
- add handwritten scribbles to markdown notes
- sketch diagrams inside obsidian vault

## When to choose
- you use Obsidian and want handwriting or drawing embedded inline in notes
- you have a stylus-capable device like an iPad with Apple Pencil
- you want an infinite-canvas drawing experience built on tldraw

## When to avoid
- you don't use Obsidian as your note-taking app
- you need full-page drawing documents rather than inline sketches
- you need OCR or conversion of handwriting to text
