Drawnix is an open-source whiteboard tool that integrates mind mapping, flowcharting, and free drawing features, supports Mermaid and Markdown conversions, and is developed with a plugin architecture.

One whiteboard that fits mind maps, flowcharts, and free drawing at the same time 14.4K stars on GitHub Drawing a flowchart requires a dedicated tool, a mind map another, and a quick sketch yet another. Three tools, three sets of shortcuts, files scattered in three places, and an idea needs to span three tools to be fully expressed. Drawnix brings all three together into one whiteboard: mind maps, flowcharts, and free drawing are all included. Images can be inserted, content is automatically saved via browser cache, and exports support PNG and .drawnix JSON. Two conversion features save time: Mermaid syntax directly converts to flowcharts, and Markdown text directly converts to mind maps. Those used to plain text can first organize their thoughts in text and then convert to diagrams with one click. The underlying technology is a self-developed Plait drawing framework with a plugin architecture, under the MIT license, and adapted for mobile devices. When ideas are valuable, don't let tool switching drain them. GitHub:
