I checked out the poster:

1. They don't seem to have any affiliation with the company

2. Excalidraw doesn't seem to have any sort of affiliate program

3. "Why is Excalidraw so good?" - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29109995

I think a lot of people just like it that much

The AI tool is actually quite good, too. I use it to generate sequence diagrams pretty frequently.

I use mermaid.js a lot but not enough that I an fluent in the DSL. So I pump things into excalidraw's AI and tell it to create the mermaid chart. It gets my 80% of the way and I tweak/extend from there. If nothing else its awesome for that

Haha, appreciate the extra checks.

Sometimes you get so much value out of a free service you feel the need to tell the world :)
