This took me a long time, but after months of working during my free time, I'm extremely excited to share Drawy! It's an infinite, whiteboard desktop app written in Qt/C++.

Motivation

Linux has had some apps with whiteboard features, like Xournal++ and Lorien. However, they have issues such as not having an infinite canvas (Xournal++) or lacking enough features (Lorien). That's why I decided to build Drawy, especially for Linux users. It's similar to Excalidraw but runs natively on your desktop, making it fast and lightweight. It's still in the alpha stage, but I have implemented key features that everyone needs: - Basic tools like pen, rectangle, ellipse, line, arrow, and text - Wacom tablet support with pressure sensitivity - Undo/redo support - Save/load files

Even though this seems very basic, it took an enormous amount of effort to develop. Drawy is still very stable to use (I've used it a lot to teach my students!)
