# Introduction

Pointless is an endless drawing canvas that provides useful features when you're
in need for a simple whiteboard/note app.

It is build using Tauri (Rust) and React with a pure SVG canvas and local files
are saved with brotli-unicode compression to ensure small file sizes.

:package: If you want to use the app, grab yourself a prebuild binary
[here](https://github.com/kkoomen/pointless/releases/latest) and enjoy!

Arch linux users can use the pointless [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pointless) package.
