One of the tools I rely on for brainstorming, diagramming, illustrating, or design is Excalidraw — my best friend in the creative process. It was love at first sight. I instantly connected with the roughness of its brush and how closely it resembles real hand drawing.

Even though its tools are limited compared to its peers, that’s exactly what I love about it. The simplicity keeps me focused entirely on the idea.

I also love its OpenColors-based palette, which makes it easy to create something beautiful without being a color expert.

If I could ask for one thing, it would be Boolean operations for shapes, like in Figma.
