I have several ideas I never started working on. I guess they don't count. Then I had some others that I never finished/validated. http://gclimbing.com http://gclimbing.com is not really a failed idea, more like a failed project. Some years ago, I administered a shared climbing blog in Austria. After some time, nobody was using it anymore (It was quite complicated to use). I wrote a new software and put it online, which is gclimbing.com - but it didn't really take off. Everybody was on facebook by that time. Another idea I tried was http://scribblingspree.com http://scribblingspree.com - A player would draw a picture, the next would describe it, the next one draw something based on the description. This started as a project to practice wicket and javascript. It was just not that much fun to play after a couple of rounds. Note that I did not know DrawSomething when I wrote it. I leave both projects online so I can link to them from my CV, but otherwise both are pretty much dead. Edit: Oh, and I forgot: http://davidtanzer.net/node/82 http://davidtanzer.net/node/82

I was pretty interested in scribblingspree.com, sounds fun! But got frustrated by how hard it was to draw (especially if you accidentally release your click off of the drawing space). In the short term you could listen for mouseup on the whole body/document instead of just the canvas, I think that would help.

  Thanks for trying it! Yes, it is pretty much unusable with a mouse, but it was kind of fun on an iPad or with a Wacom Tablet. I remember that I had some problems with the touch events on the iPad - I eventually solved them (http://davidtanzer.net/canvas_ipad http://davidtanzer.net/canvas_ipad), but I'm not sure if I deployed the fixed version... As I said, the project is pretty much dead now. But your idea (listening for mouse up on the document) would probably solve several problems, thanks!
