It said “write anywhere” but it didn’t tell me why I should or what would happen so I closed it.

My pleasure! I love trying out stuff like this, especially in these days of trying to whiteboard remotely. As it is getting late, I may just make this a brief test right now. A minor point to note is that the URL with the www does not work - you may want to fix this: https://www.browserboard.com Also I love this bit of humbleness: > A pretty good online whiteboard So on to the handwriting test. Yes! You are much clos…
The pan feature works like a "tool", so you can select any tool (pen, text, etc) to get back to drawing. Touch interactions are definitely a work in progress, I just want to make sure they aren't broken for now. :-) I'm doing fancy incremental line smoothing. It's not that hard, but no one else seems to do this, and it really bugs me. It takes some effort to understand how and make it performant, but it's such a nice…
Yeah, that incremental line smoothing makes such a difference. Ziteboard is pretty good and I have no complaints about it - my writing seems a bit angular in realtime, but seeing that almost-immediate smoothing makes me think "Yeah, that's exactly what I meant to write."
But you do it immediately as I go!
I noticed a little bug on the Note 8 - when I'm on the main page where I can sign up or create a board, it's chopped off on the left and right sides. Selecting "Desktop site" from the Chrome menu fixes it.

Re: Witeboard
#64I 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: https://imgur.com/a/nCKMEKE I repeated the experiment on my Galaxy Note 8 with its active pen, with sim…
My first three tests of anything like this are: 1. Does it keep up with rapid movement? (If something fails this, it’s a total non-starter.) 2. Does the eraser on the back of my pen work? (If not, it’s very frustrating and a very bad sign.) 3. Does pressure sensitivity vary the thickness of lines? (I just find it’s a bad sign if something lacks this—tools that support pressure sensitivity seem to pretty consistently…
Those are great insights.
Have you found any online collaborative whiteboard tool that does what you want here? It is so frustrating compared to native apps where low latency, pressure sensitivity, and the pen eraser are table stakes.

Same experience on Firefox/Ubuntu - made it unusable.
Re: Witeboard
#66I want one of these that is free, cross-platform and lets me paste/drop in in some icons I have.
And as a native app, not a web page. I realize that is almost impossible these days, but one can dream.

Sorry, I haven’t ever gone looking.

Seems like some kind of bug. It performs much better with trackpad input than touchscreen input.

#70Two points as feedback
1. I use a stylus with my mac and this apparently does not work as expected. The web client should also support an option for stylus mode.
2. The "erase all" function is not working.
