Super excited to see that excalidraw made the front page! We published an article yesterday explaining how the end to end encryption works when sharing a link: https://blog.excalidraw.com/end-to-end-encryption/

Any chance you could add actual pen-like drawing? That would make it much more versatile, and make it fit its description better ("Excalidraw is a whiteboard tool that lets you easily sketch diagrams that have a hand-drawn feel to them."). Bonus points for using PointerEvents to change the line width with the pen's pressure.

Saving the diagram automatically and restoring when the site is revisited is a nice touch.

There is an issue up for grabs: https://github.com/excalidraw/excalidraw/issues/25
