I think I broke Excalidraw… by making it smarter. 👀

Why spend hours manually designing apps, architectures, workflows, diagrams, or complex systems… when AI could do most of the heavy work in seconds?

So I started building.

Now this platform can:

🧠 Generate almost anything with AI — app structures, diagrams, system architectures, workflows, plans, and more

🎙️ Turn voice directly into generation using react-speech-recognition (yes… you literally speak and it starts building)

📂 Save and organize multiple persistent workspaces/boards

⚡ Handle a powerful interactive canvas inspired by Excalidraw

🤖 Reduce workflows that normally take hours… into seconds
Built with a full-stack architecture:

Frontend → React + TypeScript + Vite + Tailwind CSS

Backend → ASP.NET Core

Database & Infra → MongoDB + Docker Compose containerized environment

Still building it…
But seeing software go from “let me manually do this for 3 hours” to “AI, do it now” is honestly one of the coolest things I’ve worked on.
The future of building software is changing fast.
And I love building for that future. 🚀
