Drawing

[ghost]

Is it feasible to create a drawing plugin that matches (or supersedes) that of Tiptap?

It doesn't necessarily have to be better, but just "drawable". ^^

I was thinking in something like inserting an SVG canvas and when exported (CTRL + C), write to a blob.

They're using d3 to draw.

Integrate a draw component won't be difficult, but it's hard to make it transform between markdown strings.

I was thinking in two simple scenarios:

• when copying, transform to data image URL;
• when pasting, well, it's just another image, no conversion is made.

Much like notekit handles drawing.

With that, the work could be done in a worker thread, with a small web assembly module, like the one thumbo uses. It's lightweight and open source! Then there would be 2 direct interfaces: (1) for the core plugin to send the data url as SVG through (2) the webassembly module to make the conversion to PNG as data url, and send it back to "copy" event.

There are other ways to export to PNG, but I personally dislike the idea of having deep dependencies.
