They say that they’ve removed the ability for you to save locally, but I can’t see how that’s possible
It’s quite simple really: think of it as a “demo”. You can be offline, start it, mess around, copy&paste stuff… close it and lose all your changes… or go online and save the file to OneDrive.
It is “not cloud” only in the sense that a cloud solution sends the code to run the app to your browser, which most likely will save it to local cache, then read it from there unless there is an update online.
Meanwhile, if you browse to draw.io, you can have your browser download the app to its cache, optionally “install locally” then go offline, open the app, load and save from local, go online, load and save from cloud… is that a “cloud” solution, or a “local” solution? What is a PWA?
