Very nice and smooth! I think this may be my go to whiteboarding site...

One feature request would be that if I start typing when a box or circle is selected, it would put text in that object. I realize that this might be difficult with hotkeys, but I use that feature in Visio all the time and I love it for quick diagrams.

Next best would be if you select the text button (or '7') when an object is selected, it would insert the text in that object.

A few other feature requests/bugs after using it with my iPad and a pen:

- can't select menu items with pen

- an undo button on the hotbar would be nice

- a way to control the return to select mode after drawing a shape - I often want to draw a few boxes and then connect them with arrows, but having to keep hitting the shape select is a bit painful

Makes sense, I'll look into it. I haven't been able to test on a lot of devices, especially tablets.

As far as the select mode, try double-tapping one of the tools! That will keep that tool selected until you manually select a different one.
