NASJINasjicad vs LibreCAD
Both are free 2D CAD. The difference is DWG and where it runs: Nasjicad opens and saves DWG and runs in the browser (plus Windows, macOS and Linux apps); LibreCAD is a desktop program that works in DXF and can open but not save DWG. Pick LibreCAD if you want open-source code; pick Nasjicad if you exchange DWG files with others.
