Load Excalidraw dependency component from web ?

Thanks for creating this cool plugin! I don't know the implementation. But it would be nice if the features of the editor area are in sync with the webapp https://excalidraw.com. Maybe just embed the webapp inside the editor area?

This is the plugin:

This is the web app:

I guess I know how it works: https://github.com/excalidraw/excalidraw/tree/master/src/packages/excalidraw

In the link above, there's an example https://codesandbox.io/s/excalidraw-ehlz3 and the example is in synced with the web app. So, my question is, why the plugin is not quite up-to-date with the webapp?

why the plugin is not quite up-to-date with the webapp? Because this plugin has been designed to work offline. Also at the time this project was home brewed Excalidraw lacked various APIs, that needed custom piggybacking. Most have been removed, but there's likely some work.

Also I don't have time in my private life to focus on this project to even fix bugs ; so I cannot even commit to even design a soft transitions between offline and webapp at this time.

I recognize this would be nice though, but there are challenges ahead, like what if the pulled JS is incompatible in API or in behavior ?
