Super useful product that really nailed the most important features needed for an engineering team!
Congrats on the launch @shin_kim1! I might start using this to structure essays.
Eraser gets so much right β¦ partly whatβs included and partly whatβs not included β¦ partly that it somehow feels geared to the right combination of text / keyboard vs drawing / trackpad. Hard to describe β¦ I like Excalidraw, Figma, and Mermaid, for example. But I find myself way more productive with Eraser β¦ Excalidraw is too unconstrained, Figma requires more drawing skill, and Mermaid is downright ugly.
@monty_kosma I love your nuanced description of Eraser! I think that's exactly how we'd put it too :)
@shin_kim1 Congratulations with the launch!
Happy to see Eraser adding so many useful features! Glad I had a chance to see how everything started :)
Well done!
I use Eraser in my classroom for student collaboration and incidentally, I am presenting to a teacher group today about how I use digital whiteboards including Eraser. Timely release!
All the best!
@david_grills π aww thank you! would be curious to know what other teachers think!
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?
@karan_kanwar Thanks Karan! Would love to know what your engineering team thinks. Yes, our website is on Webflow and we used a Webflow agency. Shoot me an email at shin@tryeraser.com and I can send you their details!
I like this!! Whiteboard, but for typically development workflows. Super handy!
Hey Product Hunt π
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 β technical design docs, architecture documentation, and system design interview artifacts.

@shin_kim1 Congratulations on the launch! Eraser has been extremely helpful for me to convert my thoughts into visual representations. Love the flexibility and simplicity of this product!
@rishabh_agnihotri1 Thanks Rishabh, really appreciate the feedback from you and the 100ms team. Will be reaching out to you regarding that Notion integration π
@shin_kim1 Congratulations on the launch! We have been using eraser (via the Gather integration) and eraser is by far one of the best virtual whiteboarding solutions I have seen! Keep rocking!
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!
My writing process generally has two steps - make barely legible sketches in my notebook, and then write about them in a Google doc or equivalent. Only a few sketches would make it into the final doc. Losing offline content, and keeping docs/diagrams in sync has been a constant challenge.
Eraser's side by side layout of notes & diagrams and the intuitive UX have been transformative both speed and quality wise.
@shin_kim1 , congratulations on building a great product.
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!
@sooddvs No wonder your launch was so successful!!

π€£π€£ Just joking, so much respect for the product your team is building at 100ms and thank you for letting Eraser be part of your toolkit!
