Lightweight Whiteboard Wiki

Lightweight Whiteboard

Lightweight Whiteboard is a Visual Studio Code extension that opens a simple drawing board inside the editor. You can sketch with a pen, draw lines, arrows and shapes, fill areas with a paint bucket and drop images onto the board.

Each board is a *.whiteboard file that contains a normal PNG image, so it can live in your project like any other file. Saving, undo, redo and revert work like in any other VS Code editor. Existing PNG files can be opened in the board as well.
