Collaborative Whiteboard

This is a collaborative whiteboard inspired by the socket.io get started page.
This demo is missing now for around 1.5 years and I finally found some time to dive into it.

So what is this project? - It is a whiteboard with which connected clients can draw together on one board.

Missing features

This being a proof of concept there are a lot of missing features to make this even cooler:

• On a new connection only a empty whiteboard is shown. Only the newly (after this connection) drawn lines are getting shown
• A color picker
• An eraser (It's kinda there if you use white color. A true implementation will come soon...)
• A wipe function
• A way to set the size of the pen
• A way to export pictures from the whiteboard
• Touch support

Getting started

1. Clone the repo
2. Open a terminal inside the folder
3. Type npm install NPM will now install the modules
4. After the installation is done type node app.js. You should get a message that the server is running.
5. Navigate a browser to localhost:3000 and start drawing. Open another browser (or another tab) and watch yourself drawing. You might draw on the second screen as well.
