Fantastic work!
My only recommendations/requests—
• Enable (or add an option to enable) anti-aliasing even when a shape isn't detected
• Also add shape tools, as it doesn't always detect the correct shape I'm trying to draw, and allow basic universal special-key use, such as shift to maintain aspect ratio
• Text editing tools— unless I'm just lost, I see no way to change the size or style of a font
• Allow by default or include a mode where shapes and text alike can be modified after being placed, similar to layers in photoshop. If I am collaborating with my team on an app UI design, it would help to be able to resize and change elements to further develop and change a concept we have already begun designing on the whiteboard.
With all of these^ taken into account, my BIG recommendation is that you form a strategic relationship with Noun Project (or a service like that, though NP is the best I've seen). With Noun Project directly integrated, users can open an svg-powered artwork sidebar and drag in vector artwork which will also be modifiable like the rest as I mentioned above. If users are not Noun Project subscribers or are not signed in, they'll still be able to drag in svg options from their wide collection of free artwork, mixing in some pro-only items that are greyed out with a lock labeled "Pro" or whatever their subscription is called, and also include a banner at the bottom promoting Noun Project and incentivizing subscribing, of which you could probably form some sort of affiliate partnership. If a user is already a pro member and signed in, they could access all artwork from this sidebar or drag it in directly from their mac NP tool which would import it as an svg. By integrating with Noun Project, all artwork color could also default/be restricted to whatever color the user already has set in the sidebar. Access to these elements would help tremendously in UI building and make your service more appealing to designers and teams.
@brandon_mcconnell These are amazingly thoughtful suggestions, thank you!
- Anti-aliasing: that's a great idea, we are going to look into it.
- Shape tools: Yeah, we only really supported rectangles and circles (we assumed those are were the most used shapes) -- so we didn't know if we wanted to add a shape button at the bottom for just two shapes. We added the 'r' and 'c' keyboard shortcuts and shape detection to take away that button. I really do like the "shift to maintain aspect ratio" idea!
- Text editing: As crazy as it sounds, we wanted users to just erase or Cntrl-Z to make text changes --just like a real whiteboard I guess :p. Our MVP (and really overall) mantra is quick and fast sketching, and introducing (text) editing would add features that we thought would break that. We'll look into it.
- Shape modification: same mantra thing I was talking about above. Marrying editing features with "quick and fast" is going to need some UX thought :).
We really want to integrate into other services and tools people are already familiar with! We have some awesome ideas and it's a matter of how we roll it out -- so stay tuned :).
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
@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. :(
This is an awesome product - the UX is clean and intuitive. Plus, it's (a lot) cheaper and more portable than Google's Jamboard. :-)

IT was awesome for a while but it NOT compatible with touch screen because it gets really janky. When i use a stylus on other softwares, its more seamless

still testing sharing and collobaration skills
Pros:
very intuitive, easy to use
Cons:
harder than expected to draw with cursor. - now i need a tablet again. finally found a real usecase for it :D
