This is my open-source project. I use it almost daily for simple whiteboarding, notetaking, online whiteboard sessions.
The idea is to have a simple and highly usable, fast alternative to more complex software such as Miro or Mural.
- asicsp 5y agoSee if you can edit the title of this submission to add `Show HN: ` prefix? See https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html for details. Also, perhaps edit your comment with link to the source code.
- nullzzz 5y agoDone! Src at https://github.com/raimohanska/ourboard https://github.com/raimohanska/ourboard
- easygenes 5y agoCan you comment quickly on what state it's in? What features does it support? What does it offer that you wouldn't get with Miro or Mural? What are some features you might miss from those? Are you still actively developing it? What should we expect from it in the next year? Are you looking for collaborators? For instance, something I quickly noticed is that there is no freehand drawing, arrows, or connection-building tools currently. Are those coming?
- nullzzz 5y agoQuick overview: - notes, areas for organizing, a few shapes and colors, connectors - images and videos dragn drop / copypaste - more on github readme - not very active development lately. Just today I improved on the front page features - You get a simple and easy board, where other tools may seem bloated and complex
- mkl 5y agoThere are connection arrows. Click the icon that looks like a share button.
- nullzzz 5y agoNo roadmap / plans. Contributions welcome. You can also self-host this one very easily btw.
- freedomben 5y agothis no doubt appeals to a certain niche (of which I'm a part of), but this (along with open source) is a massive benefit. Thanks so much!
- cutemonster 5y agoHow do you use online whiteboards in you organization? (I've never tried)
- mkl 5y agoI think I'm missing something. How do you use it for whiteboarding? Where is the pen tool? Also, is the change log in a working state? I can't seem to make it show anything. Is it possible to close it after you've opened it?
- nullzzz 5y agoNo pen tool sorry! Change log is not fully functional. Whiteboarding maybe a bit misleading here. Let’s call it a sticky note wall, with images and connectors?
- kimchidude 5y agoSo it’s a flowchart wall? As the earlier user shared, I can’t seem to get the wall to do anything either. Sticky notes can’t be dragged and the text on the site gets cut off at the site’s edges. I’m on iphone.
- nullzzz 5y agoYeah it’s mobile-dead, works on desktop.
- arendtio 5y agoCongrats for reaching this state. I really like the clean and simple interface. What I am missing are a few more sentences about hosting. I saw the documentation about the variables and the commands to host a dev environment, but which commands should I use to run it in production?
- nullzzz 5y agoThanks! May I ask you to open a Github issue on this, and I’m sure we can get u up an running. HN isn’t a great support forum :)
- tikwidd 5y agoThis is great, congrats for shipping. It also reminds me a bit of Padlet in that there is no freehand drawing and the focus is more around connections between objects. Maybe it would be better to describe it as a corkboard or pinboard. I do have some layout issues in Chrome, y is overflowing so I get two y-scrollbars.
- trenchgun 5y agoI agree that there is a need for this. I don't want to remain locked to their closed systems. Godspeed!
