Google should integrate this in Drive. It's just too easy to make diagrams this way.

#22The handwriting recognition is very good. The "diagram block" recognition not so.

#23Cool! Something similar can be produced, like the slides Martin Kleppmann uses in his presentations e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2RJQELoM6Y
I didn't know if he was drawing them, or using a framework to create them. Anyone know what he uses ?

Both are much better than I would've expected to be fair, but yeah the block recognition is still slightly short of usable.
The handwriting recognition is amazing.

#25Interesting but a small annoyance is the evil destruction of history/back button functionality - totally unnecessary and is either manipulative or inept.

#26Looks great! I recently tried to make something similar where one could simultaneously sketch on a tablet and on a laptop - https://onthesamepage.online/about
works great on iphone too. I added it to my homescreen, but the experience is not great, it behaves just like a bookmark. I was thinking it would work like a PWA. Just launch, scribble notes, close. Launch again to restart or start new sketch.
Ink is really good.

I'd guess felt-tip pen and watercolour. Not a particularly exciting framework, to be fair, but works really well.

Isn't that just using something like an apple pencil to write directly on slides on an ipad? I didn't notice anything special. But maybe I missed something.

#29This would be a great acquisition for Apple for Apple Notes!

What browser are you using? in safari the back button worked fine for me.
