I built a simplewhiteboard that just lets you draw
Hey everyone,
I’ve always found it a little funny that opening a simple whiteboard can involve accounts, popups, huge toolbars, and a bunch of features I’ll probably never touch.
I just wanted to open a page, draw something, and get on with my day.
So I built simplewhiteboard — a lightweight whiteboard focused on exactly that.
What’s included:
Instant access — Open it and start drawing. No signup.
Simple tools — Pen, marker, highlighter, laser pointer, and eraser. Just the essentials.
Zen Mode — A clean canvas when you want nothing getting in the way.
Flexible canvas — Grid, dots, dark mode, plus quick PNG export.
Local-first — Your drawings stay in your browser instead of being uploaded somewhere.
The idea is pretty simple: a whiteboard shouldn't feel like an app you need to learn.

I’d love to hear what you think — especially what you’d add without making it bloated.
