Open Source TypeScript Whiteboard Software

Excalidraw, the virtual whiteboard app for sketching hand-drawn like diagrams, has come a long way. With the remote work becoming the status quo, Excalidraw was able to show its true potential and we’ve come to a point where over 100K people have used it just the last month! While it has been extremely successful as a free open source project, the biggest source of complaints nowadays is around adoption within companies: How do you share diagrams with your co-workers easily? Can your company depend on the service for live collaboration? Is your data secure? We’ve thought long and hard about how to make it happen in a volunteer-based open source model but haven’t found a great solution. So we decided to build a company around Excalidraw with the first product being Excalidraw+. With account-based access you can rest assured only the right people will have access to your data, while still retain the ability to share specific drawings with outside collaborators.

tldraw is a collaborative digital whiteboard available at tldraw.com. Its editor, user interface, and other underlying libraries are open source and available in this repository. They are also distributed on npm. You can use tldraw to create a drop-in whiteboard for your product or as the foundation on which to build your own infinite canvas applications.
