Hi, I built CollabUML after the need to work on designing systems with my peers, instead of screensharing, it's simpler to go into a website and start collaborating, it saves bandwidth which can be a problem sometimes, and it allows your peers to do edits instead of just telling you want to modify. After thinking a bit and talking with people, looks like it can be useful for system design interviews. I'm still thinking how to evolve it, if you have any ideas, let me know. Be aware that anyone can go to any board, hence, avoid placing private information. Thanks.

This is cool. Random idea: set up a Blockly[1] mode for using blocks to generate the PlantUML. Even more amazing if you have it bidirectional with a text mode! [1] https://developers.google.com/blockly https://developers.google.com/blockly

  Looks cool, is that open-source? I can't find the link to a repository anywhere... Looks exactly like the [1] Scratch programming language IDE from MIT. [1] https://scratch.mit.edu/ https://scratch.mit.edu/

    Blockly is definitely open source[1]. Scratch looks like Blockly because Scratch is now written with Blockly :) [1] https://github.com/google/blockly https://github.com/google/blockly

- use certbot from letsencrypt to setup https - you could start the app immediately without having to decide the name (e.g. assign a random name). Only when/if I want to share it, then I can think of a name

  Thanks for the hint, I'm a frequent certbot user, I released this overnight and got a complication while mounting one of the servers and didn't bothered to fix it and just released the app. Hopefully I'll apply this and other changes in the following days.
