The visible general diagramming loop is buildable, but a credible replacement needs more than the first screen. EdrawMax earns its keep through interaction polish, collaboration, so expect a weekend or multi-day build and a narrower personal scope.

Build a highly capable, localized general diagramming editor as a personal alternative to EdrawMax. Vibe-code the application using a strict modern stack: React, TypeScript, Vite, Tailwind CSS, and IndexedDB. The user interface should be incredibly polished, feeling like a premium desktop application running in the browser. Utilize a clean, spacious layout, smooth interactions, and a beautiful, consistent design system with well-defined light and dark themes. Core Functionality & Requirements: 1. **Diagramming Canvas:** Implement a robust browser-based canvas tailored for flowcharts, network diagrams, and mind maps. Users must be able to drag and drop shapes from a sidebar, resize them effortlessly, and connect them with intelligent routing lines that snap to anchor points. 2. **Advanced Interactions:** Include a comprehensive suite of keyboard shortcuts, marquee selection, grouping/ungrouping, alignment tools, and a reliable undo/redo history. The canvas must auto-save continuously to IndexedDB. 3. **High-Quality Export:** Provide standard-compliant export options, allowing users to save their diagrams as high-resolution PNGs or scalable SVGs. Ensure an import/export mechanism for the raw diagram JSON data so users are never locked in. 4. **Privacy & Security:** The application must be strictly single-user and private. All user data must be stored locally. Strip out any analytics, telemetry, ads, or third-party accounts. All external configurations (if any) must reside in a `.env` file. 5. **UX Excellence:** Implement the smallest but most polished interface to complete the core diagramming loop. Provide clear empty states, elegant loading transitions, and robust validation. Ensure accessible keyboard navigation and sensible contrast ratios throughout the UI. 6. **Scope Constraints:** Deliberately exclude paid-tier features like massive proprietary shape libraries, enterprise collaboration, and high-fidelity Visio file import. 7. **Engineering Standards:** Write focused unit tests for the diagram data model, connection routing, and history stack. Implement an end-to-end smoke test to verify the core drawing loop. Produce a detailed README covering setup, architecture, data location, and limitations. Include scripts for installation, development, testing, and production builds. Fix all errors before finalizing.
