We're finally Lifehackered! Funny how we finally updated our video last night. And it already has as many views as the previous one, which was 3 months old.

Edit: since it looks like this isn't dropping off the HN home page yet, check out our developer API at http://www.dabbleboard.com/main/developer . (I posted about that a couple of days ago: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=321413 , but it dropped off the HN home page quickly.)


I loved the demo that you showed a couple of weeks ago at Hackers and Founders. Congrats on the press. I'm sure you'll be getting more. It's a really good product.


Congrats! One feature request: when I embed a drawing, then click on the link provided, let me edit that drawing if I'm the creator (and logged in).


Thanks ph0rque! I'll send you an email about your request :)


Huge congrats, I loved it back when you announced it here, and I love it still...


It would be really fantastic if technology like this encouraged the public to work together on concepts and ideas. For example, let's say I wanted to do some exploratory work on a concept or idea. I'd love to be able to publish a request describing what I want to do in a time-based directory, users select the "project", and we all play around together trying to test the idea.

Certainly I would probably avoid using my own intellectual property, but if I was testing a particular concept, sketch, layout, or idea, it might be neat to gather responses from people who are interested in similar topics, in real time.

Just dabbling in thought.



I see the Russians have gotten to it already...

edit: if you hold Ctrl (on windows), you can draw curves. Cool!


You can draw curves without holding anything. Just has to be curvy enough for it to detect it's a curve and not a straight line.


You're right. Awesome!


I'd love to see this support multi-touch so I can stick it up on the wall with the Wii whiteboard hack (http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~johnny/projects/wii/)


Dabbleboard is sick. I love that I can ctrl+Z away what I just did. Extremely intuitive.
