Excalidraw

I love it when people put thought into a product.

One of those examples I encountered recently is Excalidraw, an open source and free drawing/diagram tool. I discovered it through Standard Notes which offers it as a plugin.

But it's just a web app and an open file format (JSON) and therefore deployable anywhere else, e.g. standalone or part of Obsidian. And apparently also part of Standard Notes. Which means the drawings are private and yet immediately synchronized to all my devices. No effort needed.

On mobile the plugin seems to have some limitations as it is not possible to export the image to another format, you'd need the desktop version to achieve this. But in all fairness, I'm not sure how often I'd use this functionality (on mobile).

Still, I like the simplicity yet it produces good results to convey a story.

Glad i discovered it.
