While Monodraw seems to have business related features I feel the need to mention "Mœbius ANSI Art Editor"[0] a cross platform open source alternative. Moebius is a new ANSI and ASCII Editor for MacOS, Windows, and Linux. With a neat Moebius Server feature that allows collaboration by multiple users on the same canvas through a server instance.

That's pretty neat. I didn't realize 16 Colors uses the server feature. https://16colo.rs/servers/ https://16colo.rs/servers/

  As far as I can see there are Electron apps for all major desktop OSes, that's pretty much as cross-platform as it gets, for a desktop app.

    Electron app is "JavaScript-app + Chromium browser (or any other browser)" Without browser this "browser extension" (Web-app) could not run on any platform.

      Electron is a runtime environment that evolved out of a browser, not a browser. This app doesn't have any browser functionality I can see, like open arbitrary websites, but it does have its own system menus, icon, it's directly executable by the OS. By that logic no software written in an interpreted language can never be cross-platform, you'll always need a runtime environment.

Because it is browser (Chromium) with a custom browser-extension by design.[0] [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_(software_framework) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_(software_framework)

This has like...none of the features of Monodraw? Drawings aren't objects - this is just a canvas. This is not an alternative to Monodraw - but an ASCII painting app.
