Super intuitive open source whiteboard tool, perfect for online collaboration.
Intuitive, easy to use, no really negative sides at all, just use, use, use!! I have lived as a motion graphics producer for +10 year, done sketches with "the wrong apps", THIS is the RIGHT one!!
It takes a lot of ingenuity to come up with the idea of implementing a dark mode using real-time color inversion, which causes constant lag
Simple and limited thus preferable to the pretentious and unstable Draw.io / Diagrams.net + excalidraw specific things can be included in an exported svg image like sktech-that-I-will-work-on-later.excalidraw.svg
I feel like I am in a new friend's home when I interact with an app that offers its services at no cost, invites you to familiarize yourself with the features, and helps you discover why you always needed it. THANKS Excalidraw, for not intimidating this software exploring newbie.
Really great whiteboard collaboration tool, clean design, and straightforward! The no-registration-required feature is an amazing plus.
Easy to use, No registration required, Collaborative feature, opensource, self-hosting, pretty interface, convenient export option
