Real quotes from Reddit comments that inspired this opportunity

  • “I noticed that in every browser I open Excalidraw, I need to redownload the library”
  • “If I add some libraries and open Excalidraw now on my tablet, it says the same thing, even if I already downloaded the library on my pc”
  • “Everything is stored client-side, they're different clients, so something that is stored on one client (i.e. Chrome) won't be on the other client”
  • “I am confused. Is this a replacement for Excalidraw (a fork or something like that) or just an add-on on Excalidraw?”
  • “There are 4 versions of Docker Compose. Is not clear what to choose for my use case”
