A Google Chrome extension to draw on Slack and share the drawings with the team.
Check this short video to see how it works!
The initial idea was to work just as a proof-of-concept about generating a bitmap from a canvas element and sharing across the network. Check section "TODO" to see what cool things we can do to improve this extension even more!
