  "what": "Open-source virtual whiteboard with a deliberately hand-drawn look. The free web app gives the full editor, one infinite scene, unlimited live collaborators, end-to-end encrypted sessions and local-first autosave, plus PNG and SVG export. It also ships as an embeddable React component.",
  "why": "The lowest-friction way to sketch an architecture diagram or user flow and drop it into a README. The sketchy aesthetic signals draft, so nobody mistakes a five-minute box diagram for a finished spec.",
  "warn": "Free scenes live in browser storage, not an account — clearing site data or switching machines loses them unless you export the .excalidraw file or pay for Excalidraw+.",
