Infinite canvas, super simple, lightning fast, near zero learning curve. Powerful enough. No arbitrary lock in to the apple ecosystem. Free. Open source.
“Let’s do collaboration”, says the company locking people who dare not be in its ecosystem out. Gross, IMO.
- mandmandam 4y agoNothing too substantive to contribute here, but yeah I really love Excalidraw. It's exemplary, and I really hope it grows.
- rpastuszak 4y agoSame, it’s simple, open and snappy as f*ck
- twobitshifter 4y agoI recently had to make some sketches of schematics. On iPad I tried excalidraw, ms whiteboard, notes, notability, and sketchbook: drawing the same thing on each. To my surprise, notes actually worked the best for me with the snapping editing and exporting. Notability was also very good, but I tried that only after finishing in notes. Excalidraw works with Apple Pencil which is great but doesn’t have snapping and straightening of lines.
- oarsinsync 4y agoI just tried to use it, as the limitations of Freeform bother me, and Jamboard has frustrating privacy implications. Unfortunately, palm rejection on Excalidraw isn’t great - each time I rest my hand on the screen to start drawing with the pencil, random lines get drawn on the screen. Shame, as the potential is high. Will bookmark for future in the hopes it improves. Thanks!
- rpastuszak 4y agoCheck out concepts if you have time. It’s super flexible and iirc multiplatform.
- rpastuszak 4y agoI love Excalidraw when using it on my laptop but the drawing experience with a stylus is just not good enough. And that’s a shame because I also use Obsidian, which has a decent Excalidraw integration.
