Maybe for version 2, instead of loading directly from https://excalidraw.com we should serve them locally if exist.

  • Generate zip file and upload somewhere
  • Load app from local files if exist
  • In the background, check regularly for newer versions of the zip file
  • On start if there is a newer version downloaded and not installed, install it
  • Notify user if there is a new version to reload from the latest zip file

If we add Auto update, we could add the main repo here and keep it sync so that way if we make new releases, the app would just get the newer versions

Not sure how it could work.

I’m guessing just bundle the Excalidraw code into the desktop app?

Let's create a simple client which uses the Excalidraw web app code locally
