I work in a distributed office, and over the past few days I've been trying to find a "concept mapper", which helps us to make projects more concrete through flowcharts etc. The problem that I keep on facing is that the web apps which dominate the current market just don't cut my needs. They don't allow for proper exploration, and collaboration is a frustrating progress. We would gladly pay for a tool that doesn't ge…
I've looked a bit at what it uses: shapes drawn are vectors, the app uses Raphael (http://raphaeljs.com/) for drawing, and Pusher (http://pusher.com/) for whiteboard syncing.

The front ends seem to get desynchronised when two incompatible concurrent edits happen; this is a difficult issue to resolve, but one solution would be to change the data flow so local edits are drawn by the client on a transparent canvas, get sent to the server, and then get drawn on the underlying main canvas only when they are sent back from the server. The transparent canvas can be reset by the client at that po…
