#84Earlier quoted context omitted.
The video shows Mark explaining to Sally how a Facebook login would work on her website with the whiteboard. A killer missing feature seems to be microphone support, which the video alludes to.
It's easy to add audio via skype/facetime/you-name-it though.
Really? I don't think running another app to get audio is a very user friendly solution, and you'll never be able to record a session. How about Opus and webRTC or similar?

#86This is very cool! Is there a way to zoom in on desktop? Mouse wheel perhaps?

#87This is little 'scratch-your-own-itch' project I started working on about 9 months ago. Front end is GWT, back end is Java servlets. Database was originally MySQL but switched to Prevayler for performance reasons. My YouTube video gives a nice overview of the benefits of a virtual whiteboard: http://youtu.be/MDEHFHG1l3Y What does Hacker News think?

#90I love it - works perfectly... but immediately the feature creeper in me has kicked in. Killer features 1. Be able to type in text (any font will do) 2. Drag-and-drop an image to be be able to annotate it over the top (would be excellent design task, e.g. using screenshots of some work-in-progress). 3. Movable objects?
A similar site I built ( http://stoodle.org ) supports these three features in addition to group voice conferencing through Twilio.
