This is great -- how do you feel about being embedded? We'd love to tell some of our teachers that teach over at usefedora.com to embed this in their courses.
@ankurnagpal we actually have premium plans for embedding as well, and a small but growing number of customers that embed (& customize) the widget on their sites. We don't have the docs for it up yet, but mail me if interested and I'll be happy to explain in more detail. (Edit: senko at awwapp.com).
Hi folks,
awesome to be featured here, thx @kaanemec! We've been working on this for some time, focusing on the simplicity of use - our mantra is that it should just work. So we've carefully weighted importance of every feature or tool we added, and most of them didn't get in. Aside from keeping this simple, we found this helps in making AWW usable on mobile phones and tablets as well (though the phone's screen still are the limiting factor in such an app).
Any thoughts, suggestions and complaints welcome! I'll be happy to answer any questions here,
Senko, AWW founder
Being able to *quickly* whiteboard something out with a remote client would be fantastic.
Not sure if your service is being hammered or not. A quick test here between my desktop + iPhone revealed a significant drawing delay between the two. Rough estimate: 30-45s delay.
One thing I'd like to see is a status bar showing who is actively drawing/making a note.
Keep moving & best of luck!
@xmcgraw yeah it's being hammered (visitors from here & reddit simultaneously, plus the usual users from the US starting to come in), usually the delay should be below 1s.
RIght, the idea is to be able to quickly open a board (no logging in, or doing complex setup), share a link and off you go. Thanks for the suggestion to show who's drawing, we plan to do that as soon as we figure out how to do it without stealing space from the drawing area (probably some indicator on the menu).
Thanks for the kind words!
@bopfger I don't know if various messangers allow integration of 3rd-party content inside, but if they do allow it, this is a great idea - I'll research that, thanks.
You should make the eraser 1 size bigger than the drawing size. Also, an iPad app would be amazing please! Or maybe support for all sizes of screens.

@pallav_agarwal Hi, we've made a completely new version of AWW this September. Among all other improvements, it has a bigger eraser area than drawing size. You should check it out - awwapp.com
All best, Dora
The # of times I've doodled something with a pen and paper, then opened Gchat on my phone to take a picture and send it to a coworker... no more. This is great!
Report
AWW has been a great tool for students to collaborate on projects for quite a while. It's great to see the updates. I was reminded of some of the older whiteboard apps. http://twiddla.com was a favorite in my grad school days, and it still seems to work well for small groups. The voice chat was a little buggy when we tried it though.
