Can you comment quickly on what state it's in? What features does it support? What does it offer that you wouldn't get with Miro or Mural? What are some features you might miss from those? Are you still actively developing it? What should we expect from it in the next year? Are you looking for collaborators?

For instance, something I quickly noticed is that there is no freehand drawing, arrows, or connection-building tools currently. Are those coming?

Quick overview:

- notes, areas for organizing, a few shapes and colors, connectors

- images and videos dragn drop / copypaste

- more on github readme

- not very active development lately. Just today I improved on the front page features

- You get a simple and easy board, where other tools may seem bloated and complex

No roadmap / plans. Contributions welcome.

You can also self-host this one very easily btw.

this no doubt appeals to a certain niche (of which I'm a part of), but this (along with open source) is a massive benefit. Thanks so much!

How do you use online whiteboards in you organization? (I've never tried)

There are connection arrows. Click the icon that looks like a share button.
