I just got a drawing tablet, and have been wanting some software that would allow me to work out math problems, draw architecture diagrams, etc. I’ve seen some tools like Excalidraw, which look handy for the sharing capabilities. I also have just used plain krita, which has great feedback for the pen sensitivity, but obviously is overkill for whiteboarding.

Are there any tools you use or recommend for handwriting or picture drawing? Pen or mouse?

    I use xournal++ for notes and math stuff. Have looked at rnote as well but haven’t really dove in and tried it thoroughly.

    I haven’t tried with a drawing tablet but I like excalidraw a lot for planning things out like my homelab layout or bases in games. I installed the excalidraw container on my server just so I have my own instance always available

    Maybe Logseq? It also has a whiteboard function for drawing diagrams and stuff.
    The last time I tried it, it wasn’t Logseqs’ flag ship feature for sure, but as an addition to an already great note taking software, it was good.

    rnote is really slick. Haven’t used it thoroughly, though. The default recommendation is xournal++,which is a bit more old-school, but still very good.
