We're finally Lifehackered! Funny how we finally updated our video last night. And it already has as many views as the previous one, which was 3 months old. Edit: since it looks like this isn't dropping off the HN home page yet, check out our developer API at http://www.dabbleboard.com/main/developer http://www.dabbleboard.com/main/developer . (I posted about that a couple of days ago: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=321413 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=321413 , but it dropped off the HN home page quickly.)

  Congrats! One feature request: when I embed a drawing, then click on the link provided, let me edit that drawing if I'm the creator (and logged in).

    Thanks ph0rque! I'll send you an email about your request :)

  Huge congrats, I loved it back when you announced it here, and I love it still...

  I loved the demo that you showed a couple of weeks ago at Hackers and Founders. Congrats on the press. I'm sure you'll be getting more. It's a really good product.

  I see the Russians have gotten to it already... edit: if you hold Ctrl (on windows), you can draw curves. Cool!
  - zhyder 18y ago
    You can draw curves without holding anything. Just has to be curvy enough for it to detect it's a curve and not a straight line.

      You're right. Awesome!

It would be really fantastic if technology like this encouraged the public to work together on concepts and ideas. For example, let's say I wanted to do some exploratory work on a concept or idea. I'd love to be able to publish a request describing what I want to do in a time-based directory, users select the "project", and we all play around together trying to test the idea. Certainly I would probably avoid using my own intellectual property, but if I was testing a particular concept, sketch, layout, or idea, it might be neat to gather responses from people who are interested in similar topics, in real time. Just dabbling in thought.

Dabbleboard is sick. I love that I can ctrl+Z away what I just did. Extremely intuitive.

I'd love to see this support multi-touch so I can stick it up on the wall with the Wii whiteboard hack (http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~johnny/projects/wii/ http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~johnny/projects/wii/)
