#14I love that this exist, but the core problem with remote whiteboards is that everyone can write something legible when using a marker on a whiteboard, but it's way harder with a mouse/trackpad. It would be nice to have some features that made it easier - the features I really miss from apps I use to create diagrams are basic shapes like rectangles and the ability to select and move/resize/copy existing drawing.

You have obviously never seen my handwriting.
I am even worse on a computer with my mouse, though.

You can get a decent little drawing tablet for $30 these days. You'd probably spend half of that in the cost of pens over the device's lifetime. They're no longer ultra-expensive specialized equipment.

#17Sorry if this was already suggested. Make sure you fix that load time asap so you don't lose any potential users prior to the screen being interactive. A quick hack might be to simply display a quick overlay dressed up like a landing page with a short description and have it load behind that until some CTA is pressed. That may prevent anyone from thinking the link is broke or whatever.
As for the widget, I enjoy seeing the trend lately. It's nothing innovative, but is starting conversations on how remote workers have more options to incorporate similar things into our workflow. Great job!

Can you suggest a model?
Re: Witeboard
#20I wrote "Hello World!" on witeboard.com using the active pen on my ThinkPad Yoga. It couldn't keep up with my writing and made a mess of it.
Out of curiosity, I tried ziteboard.com (which came up in a search for "online whiteboard"), and it rendered my handwriting perfectly.
Here are the results from the two sites:
I repeated the experiment on my Galaxy Note 8 with its active pen, with similar results on both sites (not included in the images above). Witeboard completely failed, while Ziteboard rendered my handwriting as expected.
I also tried conventional touchscreen/TrackPoint/touchpad input on both devices to make sure it wasn't an issue with the active pen, but the results were again the same.
As one last test, I connected a mouse to the ThinkPad and tried both sites. Witeboard worked a little better with this pointing device: it mostly kept up but did have a lot of straight lines and sharp angles when I tried to draw scribbly circular patterns. Ziteboard again performed perfectly.
I have no affiliation or prior knowledge of either of these sites, I am just reporting my experience in a quick test of each.
