We continue to hear enthusiastic reports about Excalidraw from our teams, but our previous caveat about security remains in place. Excalidraw is a simple yet powerful online drawing tool. Sometimes teams just need a quick picture instead of a formal diagram; for remote teams, Excalidraw provides a quick way to create and share diagrams. Our teams also like the "lo-fi" look of the diagrams it can produce, which is reminiscent of the whiteboard diagrams they would have produced when co-located. Regarding security, at the time of writing, anyone who has the link can see your diagrams; note, though, that the paid version of Excalidraw provides further authentication and options to run a server locally do exist.

Our teams also like the "lo-fi" look of the diagrams it can produce, which is reminiscent of the whiteboard diagrams they would have produced when co-located. One caveat: you need to pay attention to the default security — at the time of writing, anyone who has the link can see the diagram. A paid-for version provides further authentication.
