One of the best features of draw.io is embedding the graph information into exported pngs. So if I save a version of a document as a png, and you open it with the Draw.io app, then you can edit the png as if you had opened the project file itself!
I know pico-8 also does this png embedding (where you can export a cart as a png, and others can load the png into their pico-8 machine).
Are there other apps that do this? It's really a cool hack!
