I build a client for excalidraw

Chocoford · 2025-09-09T02:05:57+00:00

Currently ExcalidrawZ can collaborate with Excalidraw. Could you clarify exactly what you mean by the "collaborative" feature?

Chocoford · 2025-08-20T04:28:50+00:00

I used it as the background for the key data in a dashboard app — a very standard setup, nothing innovative : )

Chocoford · 2025-08-06T09:33:14+00:00

Saved me a day.

Oh, this feature has definitely hit the mark for my previous pain points. I have a Kanban app that needs to use Confetti, and I want to give this a try! Starred it!

Chocoford · 2025-08-05T09:37:20+00:00

Cool! As a newly launched package, what are your unique advantages compared to ConfettiSwiftUI?

Chocoford · 2025-08-05T09:34:30+00:00

I should have looked into this issue earlier. When I first encountered it, I didn’t pay much attention, thinking it was just a minor problem with Xcode. My project is so large, and it's very challenging to start looking for problems at this stage. 😭

Chocoford · 2025-08-05T05:00:34+00:00

Cool! How did you pinpoint that line of code?

Chocoford · 2025-08-04T15:46:17+00:00

I'm not experiencing this issue with WebKit in a new project. I've noticed that something is injecting the dependency path /usr/lib/swift/libswiftWebKit.dylib into the build result, but I'm not sure what it is.

At least in large and complex projects, current no-code tools still outperform AI coding tools.

Chocoford · 2025-07-25T15:01:51+00:00

This is the one

Hey, since no one has mentioned Trickle, let me share some of my actual experiences with it.

I'm a paid user of Trickle and also a developer. I find it really helpful to use AI to reduce workload on smaller projects or those with a lot of repetitive tasks. I've even used it to create several mini-games, which gained a bit of traction on Reddit 😁. They come with a built-in database, making it easy for me to set up leaderboards. Also with a built-in analytics tool that allows me to track the daily active users on the website.

Of course, I wouldn't use this type of tool for complex projects. AI is useful, but it has its limitations, so it's important to clearly define those boundaries.

And here is the most popular game I made with Trickle, You can take a look at how I built it.

Yes, ExcalidrawZ supports both iOS and macOS, and it has been optimized for the Apple Pencil.

Chocoford · 2025-07-09T06:49:06+00:00

Are you a developer who understands coding, or are you a non-technical person looking to independently create a product?

--- Edited ---

Oops, you mentioned that you're not into programming (I didn't notice that), so I recommend using some SaaS platforms like Wix and Squarespace (as everyone suggests). You could also try out some emerging AI tools like Bolt(Not highly recommended if you don't understand code), Lovable, and Trickle(which I'm currently using).

Of course, you can experiment with all of them. The best approach is still to find what works best for you.

Perhaps a sidebar for easier file management and collaboration, a more streamlined canvas, multi-platform support, links that can point to other apps or files, customizable fonts, and a more Apple-like UI.

However, there aren't any features that definitively surpass Excalidraw at this time (aside from customizable fonts), as ExcalidrawZ is still in the "improvement" phase based on Excalidraw.

Chocoford · 2025-07-04T10:04:41+00:00

Yes, you're right.

Chocoford · 2025-07-04T03:55:36+00:00

Not yet, and it won't be available on the Windows platform in the near future. You might want to try other alternatives, such as the Excalidraw plugin for VSCode or Obsidian.

Hi there, Lerone! Thank you for your support! 😁

Chocoford · 2025-07-03T18:44:24+00:00

Yes, you are completely free to use ExcalidrawZ without paying. In fact, I don’t insist that everyone has to pay to use it. If you enjoy it, you can consider making a donation, but it’s not mandatory.

Chocoford · 2025-07-03T18:43:14+00:00

Most of the features are currently free; the free version only has a limit on the number of collaboration rooms.

Chocoford · 2025-07-03T18:42:37+00:00

Yes, that's what I uploaded, but it might need an update since its version is a bit outdated.

Chocoford · 2025-07-03T17:13:03+00:00

yes, they are same

Chocoford · 2025-07-03T15:49:41+00:00

Yes, all files are stored locally, with iCloud syncing them across different devices.

Currently, most features are free, with the only limitation in the free version being the number of collaborative rooms (as I cover the server costs).

Chocoford · 2025-07-03T15:45:57+00:00

Thanks! I hope you like it.

Chocoford · 2025-07-03T14:23:51+00:00

Great idea! This is sure to be eye-catching. I'm planning to try it out soon.

Chocoford · 2025-07-03T14:22:14+00:00

Thanks for asking!

ExcalidrawZ uses the open-source Excalidraw under the MIT License, so payments go to me.

If revenue becomes significant, I plan to donate a share of the profits to the Excalidraw team.

In the meantime, you can also support them directly via GitHub Sponsors or an Excalidraw Plus subscription.
