Hey! Go to <a href="http://corkboard.me" rel="nofollow">http://corkboard.me</a> instead of the link set by ycombinator. corkboard.me automatically gives each person their own personal corkboard, but it does this through a 302 redirect. I should probably change this in the future, but for now go directly to <a href="http://corkboard.me" rel="nofollow">http://corkboard.me</a> for your own. (Admins, if you could change the link I'd appreciate it. Thanks!) -- Tim
It would be nice to be able to zoom in and out to see more or less at a time. In general, this concept lands itself well for Google maps API where you model your board as a map and it handles scrolling and zooming for you.<p>Edit: something similar to this <a href="http://www.conwaylife.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.conwaylife.com/</a>
Off topic as usual, but interesting from the developer and user point of view.<p>If you are going to give me a 10 char ID, please make it all lower case and without numbers, I hate hitting shift or having to move my eyes from the keyboard to the numpad and back.<p>So, aren't 26 lowercase chars enough?<p>26^10 = 141,167,095,653,376<p>A hundred and forty trillion options!<p>* Hey Tim, nice app btw.
I did a corkboard concept over a year ago but it was mostly a UI exercise that incorporated mouse gestures for input (there was no backend). <a href="http://blog.pekpongpaet.com/2009/04/13/concept-virtual-corkboard-with-handwriting-recognition-for-large-interactive-walls/" rel="nofollow">http://blog.pekpongpaet.com/2009/04/13/concept-virtual-corkb...</a>
Flash-haters don't hate
Doesn't work with some character sets. I just entered:<p>これは、いくつかの日本です<p>Then went away and came back, and all the characters had turned to question marks.
It would be nice if you allowed us to rename our corkboard (corkboard.me/[my_name_or_whatever]) to something more meaningful, then I can get to it from work or home without checking my delicious account.
Could you make it more obvious where to click and hold to drag?<p>I think you want to allow the user to select the text with the mouse without moving the note, but maybe some kind of styling at the bottom and top of the note to designate a "drag" zone.
Looks like a neat idea, but can you please add a Terms of Service page, even if it's just a brief one? That might set folks a bit more at ease for posting their TODOs and reminders.
Looks really good. One small refinement: deleted notes could appear on a list in the corner say - maybe with a screwed up motif - so I can recover something I delete by accident :-)
Very cool, well built.. but from a UX/UI perspective, it strikes me as a little bit odd that I would be sticking post-its to a cork board. Maybe a refrigerator or whiteboard texture would be more fitting. Or, so that you don't have to change your domain and branding, you can add thumbtack graphics.
This thing would be great for story-boarding if it supported images and other media types. IFrame would be cool to be able to bring in external content into one of the notes. With a few more features, you got yourself a winner here. Making the controls contextual to the note could keep it simple. Let me know if you do decide to add other media types, I would be an avid user.
Kick Ass!. Plain and Simple.<p>Some refinements - Mac, 10.6.5, Firefox 3.6.12, Creating a new note only happens in the lower right corner. I have to drag it more to be able to use the note.<p>I would pay to use this on my small biz intranet. i.e license it.
Great Job - A month ago I had the thought of creating a similar cork board concept app myself, using html/js/css - today I open HN and I see your app - well done!
It appears that two browsers (Firefox and Chrome) on the same machine can edit a board, but it can't be edited by two or more machines at the same time. Bummer.
Nicely done. I attempted doing something similar but it was not executed as cleanly as yours. Is there a way to pin items so I don't accidentally move them?
creating a new note by double clicking would be nice, since the rate of notes created by mistake would be lower :)
plus the image url feature doesn't work with any of my browsers (Mac OSX 10.6.5 Safari 5, Chrome 8, Firefox 4)
