## What it is
ExcaliDash is a self-hosted dashboard and organizer for Excalidraw drawings with persistent storage, real-time collaboration, and scoped sharing. It supports multi-user authentication via OIDC, version history, search, collections, and export/import backups in plain .excalidraw format.

## Use cases
- self-host excalidraw with persistent storage
- collaborate on whiteboard drawings in real time
- organize excalidraw drawings into collections
- share drawings with scoped internal and external access
- restore previous versions of a drawing
- back up and export excalidraw drawings
- manage team whiteboards with oidc single sign-on

## When to choose
- you want a self-hosted alternative to excalidraw.com with storage
- you need multi-user access control and OIDC for your whiteboards
- you want version history and backups for drawings
- you prefer plain .excalidraw files with no proprietary lock-in

## When to avoid
- you only need occasional one-off sketches without persistence
- you want a hosted managed service with zero setup
- you need diagramming beyond excalidraw's format
