Nice work. It might be easier to make the entire canvas draggable like google maps instead of the separate zoom control.

While it's nice and easy to be able to start using without making an account, it's a pain to find a whiteboard I created once I left the site. I know it's in my inbox, but you might want to provide a login or a memorable URL once people have got started with their email address.

Thanks, appreciate the feedback.

Did you get a chance to try it with a someone on your team? Thats when the software really comes alive we feel.

Let me know if you'd like a free board for a year.

The double click for edit does not work in Opera 11.10 beta on Linux. Only Opera's context menu shows up.

Rotating and zooming is painfully slow and without any visual clue (i don't know if my movement will rotate or change size, maybe just becouse of the slowness?). Is there a reset size/rotation button?

Thanks for trying it blick. Do you use any other browsers and did you have the same problem?

Yes, after encountering the problem in Opera, i switched to Firefox 3.6 (don't have 4 yet) and encountered the slowness. Next i tried Chromium 11, but my whiteboard there is only in Viewing mode, even though i used the same e-mail address, which worked in Opera and in Firefox.

Great work! I built something similar to this but you've just really taken it to the next level utilizing HTML5. Nice!

cool what did you build? what improvements could we make and would you use it with your team?
