## What it is
Pointless is an endless drawing canvas desktop app built with Tauri (Rust) and React, using a pure SVG canvas. It serves as a simple whiteboard/note app with local file persistence, shape tools, and export to PNG, JPEG, and SVG.

## Use cases
- sketch ideas on an infinite whiteboard
- take handwritten-style notes locally
- draw diagrams with arrows, rectangles, and ellipses
- export drawings as png, jpeg, or svg
- organize drawings into folders on desktop

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight, offline whiteboard app for linux, macos, or windows
- you prefer local file storage with small compressed file sizes
- you need a free, open-source alternative to proprietary whiteboard tools

## When to avoid
- you need collaborative, real-time multi-user whiteboarding
- you require advanced text editing or pen-pressure tablet features
- you need cloud sync across devices

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: gui, graphics, file-system, compression
- domain: developer-tools, desktop-applications, graphics, cross-platform
- platform: windows, cross-platform
- tags: drawing-canvas, whiteboard, note-taking, svg-canvas, tauri, react, endless-canvas, sketching, linux, macos, desktop
