Unless you’ve mastered one of those tools, it’s impossible to match the fluidity of thought to text or visualization that a standard whiteboard provides you.

I’m also not convinced that there is a tool that when mastered can provide the same fluidity, but I can claim that, and to the contrary I’d love a recommendation.

I’ve been trying to build a really simple only boxes and arrows whiteboard at https://whiteboard.systems

It’s definitely not the same as drawing on a whiteboard, but I’ve found it useful for explaining abstractions.

What is there to master? It's drawing or typing on a board.

Not to mention the simplicity of a chalk/marker and a board.

The ability to callously walk up to the whiteboard and erase what your coworker was doing and telling him to go back to his cube and repent for his sins is also sorely missed
