Microsoft Whiteboard is pretty phenomenal for collaborative white boarding https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/microsoft-whit...
It would be much more usefull for event-storming.
I recommend WBO : https://wbo.ophir.dev/ I am the main developer, and I have been maintaining and using it for several years now. Some of its advantages : - It is fully open-source, free, and without advertisement. You can easily deploy it to your own server. - All the whiteboards have an infinite size. - It is fully web-based, you can use it without installing anything, even on relatively old browsers. - It's transl…
Thanks for sharing, looks interesting. By the way, for some reason I have problems scrolling with the trackpad as it scrolls very slowly, while scrolling with the arrow keys works just fine.
I started building my own with a friend because nothing else had what I wanted (great freehand drawing and text tools) and was cheap. We've only just finished the MVP, so feedback would be very helpful! https://browserboard.com/ I have no idea if it'll hold up under load, I guess let's see. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ You can share the URL to collaborate with someone else.
Neat; simple but I like it. One concrete thing that jumps out at me as I play around with it: I keep instinctively trying to hit Ctrl+Z to undo, which doesn't work (and then I remember there's a button). Might be nice to make that shortcut work. Also: I enjoyed this: > No BS > Browserboard is written by two people in their spare time who aren’t thirsty for advertising dollars. We have no reason to spam you or violate…
I've only tested on Mac, and Cmd+Z works. What platform are you on?
Sandstorm is a maybe, but we're doing great on a $7/mo Heroku instance. :-)

As a suggestion, it would be nice to be able to try it without registering an account.
On the bright side, we don't even ask you for an email address (yet).

Firefox on Linux.
Its still very much in development, but we're building https://whiteboard.systems/ Its based on the idea that for most system diagrams, you just need boxes, text and arrows. everything else is superfluous. Its collaborative by default so you can invite someone to join you with the URL. The tools aren't discoverable yet, so to use it: - option(⌥) + click to create a box - option(⌥) + drag to create a grouping box - se…
There is a bug where the box will be drawn offset a bit to the right and down of my cursor. The interface is mostly good. I wonder how the whiteboards are persisted. Are they autosaved? So they expire? Can they be exported (to some data format, to SVG, to PNG)?
The whiteboards are autosaved, so you can return to the URL and see the same board. Planning to add export support soon, but for now, screenshots are the only way to save a copy locally.
So much better than anything else we tried at handling hierarchy (nested lists, sections, etc)

What makes an ipad with the pen better than a microsoft surface book or surface pro? I'm looking at buying pro 7 or book 3 for taking notes in onenote and whiteboarding.. so these is definitely a relevant post to me.
I haven't looked into it recently but yeah, like I said I was trying to find the sweet spot with pen latency and price. The iPad was cheap (~$350) and had great pen latency, whereas the reMarkable was not cheap or as full featured, and the Surface was also not as cheap and had reports of bad pen latency (e.g., see https://www.reddit.com/r/Surface/comments/e8kho9/if_there_is... for an example) Update: It appears the s…
Software wise, the iPad has way more pen focused productivity apps than Windows. On Windows, you are mostly limited to OneNote. Although Drawboard is pretty good for annotating PDF’s.
