Hey everyone!
I’ve created a plugin that integrates draw.io (diagrams.net) into Obsidian — and the best part is: it works completely locally!
This plugin is an alternative to this one, but my main goal was to make it fully offline — and I’m happy to say it works!
The plugin isn’t listed in the official Obsidian community plugin gallery yet — it’s still a work in progress — but once everything is polished, I’ll submit it for inclusion.
In the meantime, if you’re looking for a fully local draw.io editor inside Obsidian, you can install it manually right now!
Special Thanks
Big thanks to developer this plugin — exploring its source code helped me discover that draw.io has an open-source web app version.
Also, thanks to developer this plugin — by studying how it works, I realized it’s possible to embed draw.io into Obsidian using an <iframe>
.
Thanks as well to the developers of draw.io for making such a powerful diagramming tool open-source — this openness made the whole idea feasible in the first place.
I’m truly glad to contribute, even in a small way, to the Obsidian ecosystem, and I hope this plugin proves useful to someone out there!
