Great idea and great implementation. A few suggestions: - fast (or almost) autosaving/updating so that it can be easily used on a phone call for collaborative brainstorming w/o having to click save all the time. - add meta keywords or other text on the page so that google indexes the text content (added via the text tool) - Add bottom tabs like excel does for sheets to make a sequence of whiteboards possible -- of related stuff. - full screen mode - let users create libraries of shapes that do cool/useful things - integration with that guy's technology that uses wiimote IR receiver to let the user draw with an infrared LED as a light pen. Projector projects the dabbleboard onto the wall, I draw with light pen. - the ability to zoom way in/out and scroll (maybe i want my dabble board to be 30 feet wide..

Thanks! 1. I'm worried about database load. I'll have to do some intelligent memcaching etc. (haven't thought this thru yet) to make that a possibility. 2. Yep I've thought of that, tho I'm a little worried it might creep people out. (It's not as awesome as Gmail to get away with it.) That's one possible way of monetization, the other being the freemium model. But right now I just want to get some users, get the features right. 3. Hmmm... the library pane on the left kinda does that. Would you want it to work in a different way? 4. Sure. But I don't want to resize the canvas for UI reasons (see another of my comments on window resizing). 5. You can already create a library of shapes (the left pane). Did you mean something different? 6. I absolutely want to do something like that. But I've dreamed up a very different -and I think better- implementation. To build and sell a real physical product like that I'll need quite a bit of funding. PG, you there? :) 7. Yeah I was hoping to avoid that (see 4. above). Coz I hate having to constantly zoom in/out and pan around just to draw. But it may be needed if the current canvas just isn't big enough :(.

  Excellent. My apologies for not knowing about some existing features...
