Every package Drawnix depends on, ranked by repo health score.

Drawnix is a free, open-source whiteboard built for individuals and teams who need to think visually without bouncing between tools. It unifies mind mapping, flowchart diagramming, and freehand sketching in a single browser-based canvas, with automatic local persistence so nothing is ever lost between sessions.

At its core, Drawnix is powered by the Plait drawing framework — an open-source library developed by the PingCode team with extensive experience in knowledge-base products. This foundation gives Drawnix a production-grade plugin architecture that keeps mind map logic, flowchart rendering, freehand strokes, and text editing cleanly separated and independently extensible.

The tool stands out with two conversion features that eliminate manual diagramming: pasting markdown text instantly generates a structured mind map with proper hierarchical nesting, and Mermaid syntax is automatically rendered as fully editable flowchart diagrams. Combined with five-language i18n support, clipboard export to PNG and SVG, and a Docker image for self-hosting, Drawnix covers the full workflow from brainstorming to sharing.

Drawnix runs entirely in the browser with no account required. Canvases are saved to IndexedDB via localforage, and files can be exported as PNG, JPG, or the native `.drawnix` JSON format for later re-import. A hosted SaaS version is available at drawnix.com for teams that prefer zero infrastructure.
