Show HN: Jotleaf is a free-form, collaborative canvas for web content

I upvoted this because I upvote every genuine Show HN, but I think you need to give more compelling reasons to use the product over what I (and I'm sure others) are already using.<p>In what ways is this more useful than the Google Drawings already in Google Drive? Google drawings lets you:<p>* Edit drawings online in real time with anyone you choose, and invite others to view your edits in real time.<p>* Chat with others who are editing your drawing, from within the drawings editor.<p>* Publish drawings online to the world as images, or download them in standard formats.<p>* Insert text, shapes, arrows, scribbles, and images from your hard drive or from the Web.<p>* Lay out drawings precisely with alignment guides, snap to grid, and auto distribution.<p>* Insert drawings into other Google documents, spreadsheets, or presentations using the web clipboard, then tweak them inline.<p>Why would I use Jotleaf instead?

Awesome job, Andrew. It's very cool what you've built.<p>A few nits:<p>- I didn't realize "Try It Now" was a link to play with the product without signing up. This might do better as a button.<p>- I think the great Jotleafs that people have created really show the potential of the product and provide the inspiration. It would be great to put that stuff at the forefront a bit like you've done with Your World of Text (the homepage is a canvas).

It's very nice, I hope it does well.<p>I may have missed it, but does this do <i>collaborative</i> editing between 2 or more people? That would be the thing that could convince me to use this or something like it. Otherwise it's just a really nice drawing app whose drawback (others would call it a feature) is that I have to get to it through a service.<p>What I'd really like to see is something that two or more parties could install locally, and collaborate interactively without a server in the middle, or only the lightest of facilitation by a server. Which is not what you're trying to do here and I apologize. What you've done is pretty sweet.

It's confusing that you have to go into settings then page options to get them back after closing. I'd leave a little tab on the right side of the page so you can toggle it back and forth.

I like it. Can you tell how you do the infinite scrolling bit, or at least give me some hints/links? I've been trying to do something similar, but it's been a pain.

Your landing page doesn't compel me at all to provide my email address &#38; sign up for an account. The blurb of text is great and all but a few pictures or even a short video clip would go a long way.

Would help to expose padding and box sizing to the user.

What is your tech stack?
