  Great to see some development on these products. Looks like they're taking some of the design elements from Notion and Coda. I can imagine eventually they get merged into a single infinite canvas.

  Google Wave resuscitated ?

  Well, I'll believe it when they actually release it. Product announcements made at Google I/O have an astonishing way of just … fizzling out.

    This is not a dupe. Previous discussion was about the browser technology. This is about Smart Canvas, Google's name for its collaboration space that doesn't use a printed page paradigm.

  Does anyone really still get excited for Google products? For a very long time I would look forward to their software launches/updates, but it keeps arriving consistently under-baked. This looks like a very nice mockup, but I'm sure they'll find a way to mess it up.
