Built my own backend for excalidraw frontend :)

https://drawx.ossy.dev

definitely worth it - have both ollama cloud, opencode and hermes running to test them all out, working great so far.

launchpad still seems to be unreachable.

DrawX is Excalidraw with backend.

I love Excalidraw but I don't need Excalidraw+ I just need the backend where I can save and be able to create multiple canvases.

So that's what I built!

It looks like you're using the Microsoft Whiteboard logo for DrawX: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Whiteboard

You might want to change that to avoid legal issues.

I love excalidraw, but don't need the excalidraw+. But Excalidraw open source is the frontend only, which means I have to delete my drawings each time. So I built the backend so I can create many canvases.

Your site makes me make an account before I can use it, whereas excalidraw.com doesn't, and also excalidraw.com seems to save my drawing just fine? I closed a tab and reopened it and my drawing was still there, presumably from localStorage.

The three-lines-menu also has a "Save to..." option that lets you create a sharable link or save to your local disk.

You can also embed the excalidraw drawing in the exported image. So you can drag/drop the exorted image back into excalidraw and edit it later.

I actually created a completely free chrome extension exactly for that reason helps you to save and open the files at excalidraw

Love Excalidraw. Didn't need Excalidraw+. Just needed a way to have multiple canvases. So built one. You can use it too.

Working on...

- Tablex (https://www.tablex.pro) - seat arrangement app for weddings, seminars, conferences.

- Kardy (https://www.kardy.app) - group card app I've always wanted to build.

- Jello (https://www.jello.app) - Create games with your own photos and sound effects!

I played with Jello a bit. This might be fun for a family get-together. Bookmark'd.

Working on a few

- Kardy - send group cards - https://www.kardy.app

- Jello - Create & customize popular games - https://www.jello.app

How do you create the cards for Kardy? I wonder whether just making great ecards wouldn’t be a bigger market.

Great! I'll add the games I've recently created on Jello - https://www.jello.app

ok I don't care what people say, this would've helped me a lot during my PhD days fighting with LateX and diagrams. :)
