The library for excalidraw contains some interesting shape sets. However, some are of dubious quality and contain bugs. The list is also getting very long and the preview image of the shapes cannot be zoomed in, so for many shape sets their appropriateness becomes only apparent after adding and using them.

A redesign of the library might greatly improve its usefulness and diagramming productivity.

As for bug in shape sets, an example. I just used the Information Architecture shapes kindly provided by @inwardmovement in a diagram, only to find out at export time that the shapes do not support transparent background. They have white fill in dark mode and black fill in light mode. Also changing their color adds a rectangle around the shape. There's no repo to report the errors or PR a fix.

There's many features a redesigned library might have that'd make excalidraw rock some more (I love your project). One request I'd have is ability to select individual shapes from a set to import, rather than all or nothing the full set (and then manually remove what isn't needed).

Anyway, just a suggestion. Thanks for the fabulous work you folks are doing!
