Excalidraw Metrics: Cycle Time vs. PR Merges
How cool it would be if you had a whiteboard that lives in your browser—always ready for quick sketches, brainstorming sessions, and project diagrams. That’s Excalidraw for you! It’s a collaborative, open-source digital canvas where your ideas can run wild, whether you’re doodling wireframes, mapping workflows, or just jotting down chaotic thoughts during a meeting.
It’s got that casual, hand-drawn vibe, so your diagrams don’t feel stiff or over-engineered (no offense, flowcharts!). But don’t let its playful look fool you—Excalidraw is packed with productivity. It supports real-time collaboration, lets you export your visuals with ease, and integrates with popular tools, making it perfect for both individual thinkers and power teams alike.
We dove into Excalidraw’s repository to see how their engineering pipeline is holding up, using Middleware OSS to track their Dora metrics.
