Excalidraw – Sketch Hand-Drawn Like Diagrams

In plain words

Excalidraw is a web-based tool for creating hand-drawn style diagrams and sketches. It's designed for anyone who needs to quickly visualize ideas, wireframe interfaces, or map out concepts with a casual aesthetic rather than formal precision. The tool offers a simple interface for drawing shapes, lines, and text that maintain a sketchy, informal appearance. It's particularly useful for brainstorming, documentation, and collaborative design work where the hand-drawn look is preferred over polished graphics.

  I wrote a book for engineers that want to become engineering managers▲695

  Hey folks. Last year I was fortunate enough to sign a deal to write a book with my favorite technical publisher, The Pragmatic Bookshelf. When I started out as an Engineering Manager many years ago, I found that there wasn't a huge amount of material that specifically and practically helped me understand how to do my job. When you learn to program there's all of these amazing tutorials, examples and guides, but what was there for new managers?
