Review Excalidraw?

Reviewers see Excalidraw as a clean, fast diagramming and whiteboarding tool that stays out of the way. They repeatedly praise its simple UI, keyboard shortcuts, hand-drawn feel, useful libraries, and solid experience across presentations, user flows, interviews, tablets, and desktops. A few also value its encryption. The main complaints are missing features like tables or standard icons, and one user was frustrated that live collaboration work was not saved automatically. Makers of BUD and Astra Security also credit it for architecture and canvas use cases.

I love wireframing with this tool, but I recently had a really bad experience. I didn’t realize that anything I created in live collaboration mode wouldn’t be saved — I had to manually save it. I’m not used to that kind of setup, since I come from Figma/FigJam where live collaboration is already a built-in feature.

honestly, the shortcuts seem such a minor addition but they are simplifying things so much.
the app is miles ahead of its alternatives for me, no wonder everyone i know uses it for interviews

Perfect for creating diagrams, user flows, charts and using it as a whiteboard, works perfectly on tabs and desktops as well. Loved its dark mode and library is another great addition. Free version is just fine but I'd recommend going to Upgraded version, worth paying
