> the most important missing feature at the time was that to doesn't show other user's selections unlike many other collaboration tools. That means what you see is not what you're collaborators see. If you grab some shapes they don't see that you grabbed them.

This should work out of the box if you're collaborating. But, we've recently upgraded our collaboration servers and due to ServiceWorker caching it may be your colleague (or you) were connecting to the old one. Try hard refresh your browser.

You can install it as PWA app both on your mobile (added to your home screen) or desktop that works offline :).

Hello, Excalidraw+ cofounder here. The z-index syncing should be fixed now in Excalidraw+. The fix should make its way to the base app soon, after we're confident it works correctly.

The performance of the collaboration servers is now taking the front seat and should improve in the coming weeks.

As for the window alerts — yes, that's a pain point in both apps but we're working on it. It should be better than last time you tried it, let us know what you think.

We'd be happy if you file an issue or drop a message on our Discord channels with any other feedback you have!
