Cool! Something similar can be produced, like the slides Martin Kleppmann uses in his presentations e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2RJQELoM6Y I didn't know if he was drawing them, or using a framework to create them. Anyone know what he uses ?

He's probably using paper app on iPad.

Interesting but a small annoyance is the evil destruction of history/back button functionality - totally unnecessary and is either manipulative or inept.

Using this on Safari on iOS:

Every time I tried to swipe Back I would briefly see the HN page, and then it would reload the demo page. It wouldn’t let me swipe Back to HN.

Aaaand my interest in this is gone.

Looks great! I recently tried to make something similar where one could simultaneously sketch on a tablet and on a laptop - https://onthesamepage.online/about

works great on iphone too. I added it to my homescreen, but the experience is not great, it behaves just like a bookmark. I was thinking it would work like a PWA. Just launch, scribble notes, close. Launch again to restart or start new sketch. Ink is really good.

Yes, I actually plan to make it a pwa and now am in progress - offline sync is a bit problematic (I wish all browsers supported PWA), but I'm getting closer.

The back button worked just fine for me on Chrome.
