I just had enough of the quirky draw.io for Domain story telling. Luckily I found this.
I just want to point out a few minor flaws:

• opening the HTML export gives me the title and nothing on the next slide. Any known issues with that?
• The actor/item titles break very weird sometimes and incoming arrows overlap single letters breaking into the new line.
• leaving Arrows numbers overlap quite quick when a few actions leave from an actor. Numbers should be aware and move accordingly
• Colors don’t always apply on first try, sometimes never
• Reordering actors/items leads to having to reorganise every action arrow which becomes quite annoying when building a new story
• Rectangular or wavey arrows should be an option to choose from
• Can I save a story and pick up where I left? I don’t really get the file saving concept of Egon yet.

Guys this is so awesome, thanks for putting this out here. I really hope this tool will be around forever 👍🏻

Hi, thanks for the encouragement and the suggestions! I'll answer your questions inline:

• opening the HTML export gives me the title and nothing on the next slide. Any known issues with that? => Seems like a bug. Please open an issue, providing some more information (Egon version, ideally an example .egn file)
• The actor/item titles break very weird sometimes and incoming arrows overlap single letters breaking into the new line. => proper hyphenation would be a dream come true (see hyphenation for labels #16) but it is not supported by the diagramming framework that we use.
• leaving Arrows numbers overlap quite quick when a few actions leave from an actor. Numbers should be aware and move accordingly => we'll work on that
• Colors don’t always apply on first try, sometimes never => seems like a bug. Again, it would be great if you could provide some detailed information, ideally in form of a new issue. Does not sound like color cannot be changed if imported story already contains colored icons #201 (which is fixed on main/app-latest)
• Reordering actors/items leads to having to reorganise every action arrow which becomes quite annoying when building a new story => this is a limitation of the diagramming framework
• Rectangular or wavey arrows should be an option to choose from => this is a limitation of the diagramming framework - let's hope they implement that some day but t.b.o. since the framework is primarily developed for a BPMN editor, it seems unlikely. Wavey arrows are untypical for BPMN models.
• Can I save a story and pick up where I left? I don’t really get the file saving concept of Egon yet. => Yes, see user guide here and here

Thx for the promt reply. Too bad the limitations come with the modeling framework. Will open the issues...
The color changing issue doesn't persist today so I won't bother with a bug for the moment.
