Export as Diagrams (HTML graphs?) about arrow HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi @valters-tomsons

May I ask how the final export is used? I'm thinking if it will be more helpful as a diagram export. Let's say an interactive (HTML) graph with pan and zoom. That might be better for presentation and sharing, but may not look exactly like what we see in the Arrow editor. On the other hand, an export suitable for printing may be whole another creature.

Hi @valters-tomsons

I contemplated about this feature, tried some possible solutions (i.e. printing scenes as image, creating HTML graphs using third-party java-script libs to render our .json exports, etc.)

I still think for a standalone solution exporting as HTML graphs is the most viable.
Yet I found none of my experiments satisfying enough (considering the time I could spend on the subject.)

So I came up with a smart (wise-lazy) solution.

Mr. Miyamoto once said:
"A good idea is something that does not solve just one single problem, but rather can solve multiple problems at once"

Making access to the editor easier may be such an idea.
So from v1.6.0, Arrow is also available as progressive web app

Besides making Arrow more accessible; It helps with cases similar to yours in some capacity by reducing the need for sharing the app itself to just a link being shared. We can simply share .json exports or .arrow-projects and open them in the web-app.
The audience can also edit the project or comment on it by adding node notes.

Tell me what you think
Hope it helps

Hi, thanks for response!

Mostly for presentations & sharing (though that works well enough inside editor), the main motivation is being able to share a single file, so the person on the other hand does not need Arrow to see it in some capacity.

An HTML graph sounds awesome and arguably more useful.
