Whiteboard users struggle to organize and reuse visual work

People using whiteboards and diagram tools want to arrange nested content visually, revisit saved diagrams, and turn visual outlines into properly ordered text. Separate files, generic filenames, and a lack of in-app organization make it harder to find and reuse work. The social-media art curation signal is adjacent, but appears to be a different problem.

For casual diagram users and whiteboard-based outline writers. Mentioned from May 2020 to May 2025 on Bluesky, product forums and GitHub.

  1. So, I ended up having one giant diagram with all I drawn so far over past few weeks - and I'm just scrolling around every time I need something
    Nopik on GitHub (excalidraw/excalidraw)May 2020Asked for a toolHas a workaround
  2. I would like to jump between recent diagrams without doing a load (because since they are saved as untitled, I end with a downloads folder with a lot of "untitled" files, haha)
