I searched around and couldn’t find any reference to this. Does Joplin support or are there any plans to support drawing with a pen like in one note?

Here's a demo of the (very much work-in-progress) image editor (ignore the note about local debugging — I'm publishing an HTML page I've been using for local debugging): https://personalizedrefrigerator.github.io/personalSite/demos/svg_editor_v1/editor.html Feedback/feature requests are welcome!

Very good, maybe this online tool https://editor.method.ac/ can be used as a reference

I have very fast and easy solution. introducing Butterfly . WAY faster and lighter than drawio.

Hi. I would also be interested in this feature. Yes, taking notes with a keyboard may be faster, BUT when we take notes by hand, we can better memorize what we are writing and also connect the written information with other already existing knowledge in our brain! If money would be an issue, could…

Thanks a lot for the information. I just tried that. Its not working for handwritten notes. If I enter text, the text will be shown. If I write something with a pen, the writing disappears once I stop writing. Any suggestions?

What device are you using to draw/write? Does it disappear if you input with a mouse/touchscreen? What if you restart the app and try again? Does this also happen in the web version of the image editor?

I am using a Surface Pro 3. When I use a mouse, it works. Using the pen is not working. In the web version both works, mouse and pen. Restarting the app did not help.

Are you opening the image editor by clicking a button with a stylus/pen? Does it work if you open the editor with a touchscreen/mouse?
