Hey HN!<p>I'm reposting this due to the unfortunate situation that we're in right now. The reason I came up with it now is because of this post [1]. It made me realize for the first time that this project might be more beneficial than usual during these times.<p>Doodledocs.com is an open-source [2] frontend web app that establishes a peer to peer connection for your stylus data. The idea is to draw together and/or annotate on websites together.<p>It's a proof of concept. Not a lot seems to be happening in this space, considering that this particular app has features that things like Google Jamboard doesn't have (e.g. pressure sensitivity, website annotation). But using a stylus on web pages gives the idea of a "web document" a whole different meaning. We can treat web pages a lot more like paper and I think we should in certain cases. Free form drawing/writing is sometimes the most powerful tool of expression there is.<p>Anyways, if you happen to be unable to draw together with someone due to the lockdown, now you can! The only limitation is that it can't punch through corporate firewalls unfortunately (hosting it for free at the moment, currently not paying for a TURN server).<p>[1] <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22894407" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22894407</a><p>[2] <a href="https://github.com/melvinroest/doodledocs" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/melvinroest/doodledocs</a>
