Excalidraw
Online whiteboard for drawing diagrams, sketches and visual explanations simply, quickly and readably.
Overview
Excalidraw lets you quickly produce readable diagrams, architecture sketches and visual work notes. The service is based on Excalidraw, a free whiteboard with a hand-drawn style, designed to move fast without the complexity of a full design tool.
This instance is well suited to individual use, quick diagrams and lightweight visual documentation. It is adapted to creating and sharing diagrams, but not to real-time collaborative editing.

Limits of this instance
This Excalidraw instance is well suited to creating and sharing diagrams, for example through image or file export. Real-time collaborative editing is not available on this self-hosted version.
The service is therefore useful for drawing quickly, exporting and sending a diagram, but not for live multi-user editing on the same canvas.
