stovis<p>I&#39;ve always loved working in Miro, but as you use it more and more it gets slower and feels bloated. And if you want to use an alternative and take your data with you, tough shit! </p><p>Then I tried Excalidraw, and loved that it was a open source, lightweight version where you own your data.</p><p>Then I discovered that you can plugin Excalidraw to Obsidian! </p><p>So now, instead of vendor lock-in, 1 + 1 = 3 with Obsidian + Excalidraw + Syncthing🤘</p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>obsidian</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/excalidraw" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>excalidraw</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/syncthing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>syncthing</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/miro" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>miro</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/vendorlockin" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>vendorlockin</span></a></p>
