Eraser 2.0 - The whiteboard for engineering teams

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Shin Kim, Founder of Eraser. Since launching on Product Hunt almost a year ago, we've been hard at work to create the perfect whiteboard for engineering teams and I'm excited to be back with a v2 launch. How are we different from other diagramming tools or sticky-centric whiteboards? Eraser is built for engineers. Technical whiteboarding requires a particular set of primitives. That's why Eraser replaces sticky notes with markdown support, code blocks, cloud icons, and code-generated-diagrams (aka diagram-as-code). Eraser is built for speed. In real-time conversations, one less click and keystroke makes the difference between a fluid conversation and a clunky one. That's why we have a keyboard-first approach to diagramming and a clean, minimal UI. In Eraser you can drawn an entire diagram without your hands leaving the keyboard, and when you need a tool, it's easy to find. Eraser can create visual docs. Too often, diagrams are drawn in some diagram tool and pasted into a doc editor. Updating content requires straddling two different tools. Eraser has a built-in note editor so you can write and draw in one tool. This makes it the ideal repository for your team's visual docs – technical design docs, architecture documentation, and system design interview artifacts. Curious to see more?

Seems to be really helpful! Congrats!

Super useful product that really nailed the most important features needed for an engineering team!

Eraser gets so much right … partly what’s included and partly what’s not included … partly that it somehow feels geared to the right combination of text / keyboard vs drawing / trackpad. Hard to describe … I like Excalidraw, Figma, and Mermaid, for example. But I find myself way more productive with Eraser … Excalidraw is too unconstrained, Figma requires more drawing skill, and Mermaid is downright ugly.

I've been using Eraser to plan all things marketing from the last couple of months [including a PH launch from few weeks back ;) ]. Eraser is the best white boarding tool I've used by far. Good luck, Shin!

Very useful and intuitive

Congrats on the launch @shin_kim1! I might start using this to structure essays.

I've been using Erase for my engineering meetings and absolutely love it. What I love about Erase: - I can both write (text editor on left) like a word processor and draw on the right: It's important that I need both, especially to explain technical details - No sign-up required to share whiteboarding - Rich drawing functions such as duplicates and collaboration (leave comments) - Very, very fast Erase has become our default whiteboarding for our remote team. Congratulations @shin_kim1 and the entire Eraser team!

Looks like an awesome product! Sharing it with my engineering team. ps - your site is really well done! Out of curiosity, did you guys use an agency?

any plan for mobile / ipad app ?
