OurBoard

Congrats for reaching this state. I really like the clean and simple interface. What I am missing are a few more sentences about hosting. I saw the documentation about the…

Looks cool! Like the super plain appearance and simplicity. Would suit to screencasts and quick diagrams, while OurBoard is more of a collaboration tool, I’d say.

this no doubt appeals to a certain niche (of which I'm a part of), but this (along with open source) is a massive benefit. Thanks so much!

Thanks! The goal is simplicity, so it doesn't attempt feature parity with a more comprehensive tool like yours. Collaboration features, along with any features that can't be…

No pen tool sorry! Change log is not fully functional. Whiteboarding maybe a bit misleading here. Let’s call it a sticky note wall, with images and connectors?

That's a good point. It's definitely not a drawing tool. More of an electronic version of post-it notes and images on a whiteboard. You can "draw" diagrams using shapes and…

Images can be drag/dropped or copy pasted onto the board. Freeform drawing is not supported.

It’s not mobile friendly at all though

Even the home page is mangled on my iPhone SE 2nd edition

Totally breaks the back button for me

There's a bug that hijacks your back button. At least on mobile.

And it's grey. This is in no way a whiteboard, it's a grey wall for post-its.

Title says whiteboard. Can't draw on it. Hmmm. This is more like a free-form Trello board.

Can you comment quickly on what state it's in? What features does it support? What does it offer that you wouldn't get with Miro or Mural? What are some features you might miss…

I work with physicists and circuit designers. To us, "whiteboard" is synonymous with freeform drawing...

Especially the home page is a total disaster :( The actual board view is read-only usable. This is definitely a fixer. Wanna contribute? :)

I'm mildly surprised that the view rectangle in the "mini-map" in the bottom right is not draggable with the usual semantics of panning the view. Or at least if it's supposed to…

The hover text for "note" and "area" both say "drag to add a new text note". Then the one for "text" says "drag to add a new text area". I'm not sure if that's on purpose, but…

Congrats for reaching this state. I really like the clean and simple interface. What I am missing are a few more sentences about hosting. I saw the documentation about the…

I think I'm missing something. How do you use it for whiteboarding? Where is the pen tool? Also, is the change log in a working state? I can't seem to make it show anything. Is…

How do you use online whiteboards in you organization? (I've never tried)

I have tried quite a few online whiteboards during the pandemic WFH. IMHO nothing comes close to https://excalidraw.com No signup needed, clean interface, fast load times and an…

I like Excalidraw too, but in my opinion OurBoard has a different focus. - Excalidraw is superb if you want to draw something freestyle. - Ourboard seems to focus more on…

This is my open-source project. I use it almost daily for simple whiteboarding, notetaking, online whiteboard sessions. The idea is to have a simple and highly usable, fast…

That looks really sharp! I’ve been very pleased with Miro for corporate use though.

Looks cool, unfortunately Figma already did the perfect solution called FigJam and it’s absolutely awesome and free.

This is great, congrats for shipping. It also reminds me a bit of Padlet in that there is no freehand drawing and the focus is more around connections between objects. Maybe it…
