I love wireframing with this tool, but I recently had a really bad experience. I didn’t realize that anything I created in live collaboration mode wouldn’t be saved — I had to manually save it. I’m not used to that kind of setup, since I come from Figma/FigJam where live collaboration is already a built-in feature.

Perfect for creating diagrams, user flows, charts and using it as a whiteboard, works perfectly on tabs and desktops as well. Loved its dark mode and library is another great addition. Free version is just fine but I'd recommend going to Upgraded version, worth paying

It is very easy to use, fast, good use of the canvas, and I love the hot keys which make Exalidraw much better compared to its competitors. Just waiting for some standard icons that can be imported that will be useful in system design interviews.

I love how easy it is to get started + the distraction free interface. Makes it really easy to focus on ideas rather than trying to navigate the tool.
