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.
+1 For xournal++. That is what I usually use for annotating slides and drawing with my wacom tablet.
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
Xournal++ for sure
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.
I’ve used Xournal++ and Write, both worked pretty well. Saber also looks promising.
It’s going to come down to how the program handles smoothing of the pen input, which is going to differ based on how noisy your tablets data is, and on your handwriting.
My professor uses Openboard and it’s look really good
