Is it a shameless plug if the tool you're working on addresses the very issues being discussed? At the risk of plugging... To all commenters on this thread: please check out https://sharetheboard.com Our app identifies and

I've been working remotely since 2012 and am 99% satisfied with my setup. Having said that, I do have something to add to the list: since going fully-remote the amount of after-hours social time with colleagues has dropped categoricall

Completely agree. In addition to the large space I'd also callout the ability to use your shoulder, elbow, etc. (rather than relying on fine movements) as an ingredient toward achieving, let's call it, a "frictionless" c

Indeed, the assumption is that you're meeting, as you would with any other remote meeting solution (or in-person white boarding session). That said, you can always whiteboard solo, save your digitized content and upload/send it wh

Bingo - well said: "Being able to quickly draw some things that may or may not make sense, and then have someone else quickly draw on top of what you drew, and then sharing those ideas, is really hard to replicate online." This is

I'll be honest, I'm not a huge fan of the 3d virtual office. I find they often require a greater number of clicks to perform a task I'd otherwise complete "the old way". I'd be more likely to use an app that de

Couldn't agree more! That's the exact reason why we're working on our app (sharetheboard.com). If you're willing, I'd love some feedback on the app (or roadmap, for that matter).

From one fellow whiteboard junky to another: please give ShareTheBoard.com a try. It's no replacement for the real thing but it's a quick fix (ha!) and, I dare say, solves a problem or too. As for the need for structure: I can und

I should add: our app also works with pen and paper (and just about any other background/utensil). Some of us are tutors and use the app by simply pointing a webcam at a notebook. Thanks to all of you who've already tried the beta

One more to add for consideration: electrostatic sheets. You can get a whole roll of them for just a few bucks and turn your entire office into a whiteboard. No hanging, no mess. Surprisingly effective as a low-cost whiteboard-like solution
