In this video, I delve into the latest Excalidraw-Obsidian 2.0.26 update, accompanied by snippets from insightful discussions with Nicole van der Hoeven. Fresh off the PKM Summit 2024 in Utrecht, we explore significant enhancements, including interactive embeds, seamless flipping between markdown and Excalidraw modes, and intriguing "Easter Egg" features. Among the highlights are a new image annotation function similar to cropping, support for multiple Excalidraw templates, and referencing frames using their names. Plus, learn about improvements to markdown embeds and how to leverage visuals effectively in your workflow. Join us as we navigate through these exciting features and envision the possibilities for your note-taking journey.
