It is pretty interesting to see how the pandemic is pushing people to come up with various product ideas. For whiteboards, there have been many ideas and concepts lately. I am also working on a whiteboard app but it is a different concept. Our tool is using AI to recognize the shapes that make it easy to draw otherwise you end up drawing messy shapes on screens.

I was telling my young cousins in their teens that back in the day every office and classroom had a massive projector that looked like a retro interpretation of a goose. At the beginning of a lecture the professor would wheel this massive hunk of metal to the front of the room and shut off the room lights. The metal hunk was transparent on top and shot a powerful beam of light up vertically and the goosehead would re…

I remember those projectors fondly too. I guess it was a hassle to keep all the pages in order during a presentation and so on but they were also so flexible. Super easy to just draw on top of a picture.

So happy you like the tool and find it exciting! So do we =)

Hi Niko, this rocks! How would you suggest adding a feed to an app other than Zoom, or into a website? Just an iframe or something like that? I'd be interested in an api that allowed me to integrate this into a web app.

Thanks malloryerik! Yeah, easiest is really just an iframe. When you create a new web room, the url will be https://app.grapic.co/room/ id>. If you instead use https://app.grapic.co/embed/ id> it will render a slightly more minimal version that looks better as an embed.

Hi, Niklas from Grapic here.

Thanks for the kind words. We absolutely think integrations with more tools will be super cool, both meeting tools and others. We are building a FigJam integration at the moment that will be based on an embedded iFrame. I would be happy to chat more with you about your use case, please reach out to our email or chat on our website!
