I love excalidraw, but don't need the excalidraw+. But Excalidraw open source is the frontend only, which means I have to delete my drawings each time. So I built the backend so I can create many canvases.

Your site makes me make an account before I can use it, whereas excalidraw.com doesn't, and also excalidraw.com seems to save my drawing just fine? I closed a tab and reopened it and my drawing was still there, presumably from localStorage.

The three-lines-menu also has a "Save to..." option that lets you create a sharable link or save to your local disk.

You can also embed the excalidraw drawing in the exported image. So you can drag/drop the exorted image back into excalidraw and edit it later.

I actually created a completely free chrome extension exactly for that reason helps you to save and open the files at excalidraw

Love Excalidraw. Didn't need Excalidraw+. Just needed a way to have multiple canvases. So built one. You can use it too.

Working on...

- Tablex (https://www.tablex.pro) - seat arrangement app for weddings, seminars, conferences.

- Kardy (https://www.kardy.app) - group card app I've always wanted to build.

- Jello (https://www.jello.app) - Create games with your own photos and sound effects!

I played with Jello a bit. This might be fun for a family get-together. Bookmark'd.

Working on a few

- Kardy - send group cards - https://www.kardy.app

- Jello - Create & customize popular games - https://www.jello.app

How do you create the cards for Kardy? I wonder whether just making great ecards wouldn’t be a bigger market.

Great! I'll add the games I've recently created on Jello - https://www.jello.app

ok I don't care what people say, this would've helped me a lot during my PhD days fighting with LateX and diagrams. :)

Absolutely loved Yahoo Pipes. Created my own last year - https://www.mashups.io

Very nice! Love the clean UI.

cool! self-hostable?

Working on Kardy - my own version of group cards - https://www.kardy.app

I run SideProjectors - https://www.sideprojectors.com - a marketplace where people can buy/sell their side projects and businesses. I've been running it for over 14 years now.

interesting! how is it going? what’s the average price tag for such projects?

You can easily clone HN using other forum tools (discourse, discord, HN+) and start your own? Or HN provides APIs that are quite powerful.
