Excalidraw is a gem. I discovered it weeks ago, and cannot but praise it. The online instance is free and works really well, plus you have the possibility of hosting your own copy and be completely independent. I also saw that there is the possibility of doing collaborative real time drawing, but still did not try it. I have seen that the exported SVGs could be simplified (lots of repeated markup), and I am thinking about giving a try to do a PR. Excalidraw is superb.

  This and the GP comment got me curious to look at past threads because I remember previous discussion of that project.
