What problem does it solve?

Creating diagrams is made faster by authoring Excalidraw element JSON and saving it as a .excalidraw file, avoiding manual drawing for quick prototyping and design exploration.

Core Features & Use Cases

Write standard Excalidraw element JSON and save it as a .excalidraw file to be opened in Excalidraw (excalidraw.com) for viewing and editing.
Optional sharing via the included Python script to upload and obtain a shareable link, using a client-side encryption workflow (no accounts required).
Works for architecture diagrams, flowcharts, sequence diagrams, and concept maps; supports a variety of shapes and text bindings with container bindings.

Quick Start

Write your diagram elements as Excalidraw JSON, wrap them in the .excalidraw envelope, save the file, and optionally upload it to generate a shareable link.
