Why using Excalidraw instead of Fabricjs?

• Out-of-box features we've struggled before, we don't need to build them from scratch.
  • grouping
  • arrow
  • sync features
  • back to the content (fit to screen)
  • theming (dark mode)
• Super-fast loading experience (under 1 second to complete the rendering)

Features will not be included in MVP

• Mobile UI Support
• Multi-Teams Support (It doesn't make sense to support it in our community version, so one instance one team)
