The Invision Freehand inspiration is pretty evident. Hold `Shift` for click free drawing is a pretty nice addition, though.

Simple, no-signup product that works promised. Collaborative whiteboards aren't new, but not like this. Slack integration and shape detection (perfect on circles, squares; not triangles) is a terrific idea. Easier to type than write w/out tablet+pen. Congrats, @abhi_kalakuntla #coolnewtools

Hey PH!
Super excited to share Witeboard -- we've been working on it as a side project to help remote teams collaborate real-time.
We created Witeboard to be the "fastest" way to share ideas remotely. Think JSFiddle -- but for drawing. We removed all barrier to entry like sign ups and installs so your team can hop on and share ideas right away. No more awkwardly turning your laptop camera to the whiteboard in a meeting room to get your point across.
Would love to hear you guys' thoughts and let us know if there's any way we can make it better for your workflow!
@roka371 thank you SO MUCH for this!! After leaving InVision behind and committing myself to Figma completely, the one thing I really miss was their whiteboard feature. Now I can just use this for quick virtual whiteboarding since our company is very flexible with remote time. Thanks again
If you added the ability to add images and be able to write over them that would be useful. Also adding the ability to select an object or objects and copy or move them. To steal me away from Invision freehand that is what I would need.
You don't know how many times this could have been useful in my life.
If you have ever worked with distributed/remote teams, and need to layout a diagram or propose an architecture you can try to finagle with your laptop camera to point to a whiteboard in your office, but that never works well enough. I also I don't want to be limited to the bounds of a shared spreadsheet or a word document.
A few features/integrations to think about:
1. Can this be integrated with existing video/hangout software?
2. Can I drop in common shapes?
3. Can this be a desktop app as well as a web app? Web apps are great for shooting over as links to people. Desktop apps are great so that I can potentially hook in better hardware (stylus pens?)
4. Re-center button. Seems like the whiteboard extends endlessly (which I like), but similar to how maps allows you to return to the center of where you are - you may want to consider returning to the center of where you started drawing initially.
Good work.
An early distraction on Monday morning 😅
Edit: Removed the PH board, that got out of hand quickly.
Thank you! Yeah, we are definitely thinking about importing docs for annotations. We wanted to ship a minimal feature set for GA, but great suggestion nonetheless. Will definitely get to it soon.
Yeah, we really had to think about how to make a smooth UX on a desktop/laptop and we came up with the keyboard shortcuts (more on this when you see help sidebar) and shape detection. In my opinion, once you get the hang of the keys, the desktop experience will be much better 🙂.
Loved the product. Is there a privacy policy & terms and conditions for your product?
@gorkemcetin @roka371 The creators of Wordpress have opensourced their ToC & Privacy documents. https://github.com/Automattic/le...
Let me know if you find any thing better and also free :)
@gorkemcetin was just about to ask this... Could you link to a privacy statement or security audit? My company won't allow us to use this without evidence of this. :(
Very impressed for first version launch. The Slack plugin is super handy, so you can launch a new board with just a command. Right now, they seem to be having their servers overloaded, so load times are very long. This is a good thing though :) Congrats team, well done 👏🏼
Pros:Shape detection! Can see other users in real-time. Slack plugin! No signup and can easily share a link to your board.
Cons:Super simple, but expected for a first launch. Not really a con
@roka371 @megaroeny Hey Reony! Sorry for the late response, but the fix for the Slack integration is fixed. Sadly, the load on our image processing was ungracefully crashing the API that also handled our slack integration calls.
Our slack integration is pretty minimal right now as we wanted to see if people wanted it before we built more of it. We'll add more features to it in the coming few weeks :)
@jkdncn Yup there are tons of whiteboard apps out there. We created Witeboard with one core philosophy to differentiate from others, and that's frictionless onboarding.
You should be able to get started immediately -- not even a single modal. (We honestly don't need to tell you how to use a whiteboard.) The moment you go to a Witeboard link, you should be able to see the drawing and draw.
It's a subtle difference, but we think minimizing friction across core flow (onboarding > draw > share) goes a long way when it comes to the experience.
SPELLL
