the voice-first approach to diagramming feels really natural here, kind of like you're thinking out loud and the canvas just keeps up. love how it stays out of the way until you actually need it.

The .excalidraw export is the detail that sells it for me — means the output stays real editable elements, not a flattened image I'd have to redraw. Once I export a diagram and tidy it up by hand in Excalidraw, can I bring that file back into BUD and keep refining it by voice, or is the voice editing one-way out? Trying to figure out if BUD is the whole loop for me or just the fast first-draft step.
@leo404 Thanks for the feedback. Yes you either tidy it up in the canvas only or you can upload it back after editing in excalidraw. Its both ways for now.

Good to know it's both ways for now — that flexibility is what makes it usable. On the Excalidraw round-trip specifically: if I edit the exported .excalidraw and upload it back, does BUD preserve its own structure/linking so it stays editable in the canvas, or does re-importing flatten it into a static drawing I can't keep iterating on inside BUD? That reimport fidelity is really what decides whether it's a full loop or a one-way handoff for me.
@leo404 Yep! BUD preserves the structure, and it stays editable. It never becomes a static/flattened image in BUD, you can always edit it out and keep iterating as you want.
