What does HackerNews think of excalidraw?

I came across Draw.io while looking for diagramming tools for algorithms interviews. While it worked well, I preferred the simplicity (and aesthetic) of Excalidraw: https://excalidraw.com/

How about looking at the early git history of a project? One in particular that I’m thinking of is Excalidraw https://github.com/excalidraw/excalidraw - it started out pretty simple and evolved over time

I'll give this a shot:

1. Learn React and Typescript. React has taken root in the enterprise and it seems to be the frontend equivalent of Java.

2. Learn about CI/CD: Github Actions is a good starting place. If you're hosting your projects in something like Vercel, try running separate staging and production environments.

3. Look at popular open source frontend projects. The newly released Supabase dashboard[0] seems to be a pretty good starting point to figure out modern best practices. Excalidraw is another[1].

4. Frontend masters has some pretty good courses regarding React and enterprise Typescript. Would give those a try (the price is $39/month).

5. Where I'm from (Finland) Spring Boot (Java/Kotlin) seems to be the most popular backend framework. Node and Python frameworks share the second place. If you want to learn backend, I'd suggest picking one of those three. Rails if you really want to.

6. At some point you'll probably want to work with AWS. If React is the Java of the frontend then AWS is the Java of infrastructure.

7. It's never a bad idea to know SQL.

In case anyone was curious what I used for the diagrams in this article, it was an awesome open source [0] tool called Excalidraw! [1]

(non dev) looking to run my own installation of https://github.com/excalidraw/excalidraw for team. Could I use this app? Straightforward to do? How would I estimate the costs?

I've been contributing to https://github.com/excalidraw/excalidraw/ lately. It's an amazing distraction-free hand-drawn like sketching app. Online with secure end-to-end encrypted collaboration mode. Check it out!

For anyone else uninitiated:

> Excalidraw is a whiteboard tool that lets you easily sketch diagrams that have a hand-drawn feel to them.

It appears to be free open-source software on an MIT license.
