Hello community! I am in need of some and for collaborative whiteboard that:

  • don't require sign in for invited people to collaborate: like uploading images and adding/editing text
  • can be saved on your computer or on a repository
  • can be shared as link (view only - even from self-host)

and last but very important:

  • has a good privacy policy.

🙏

@alx
https://www.tldraw.com/ is nice and opensource :)

Edit: It has account-less sharing, and a VSCode extension if you prefer local .tldraw files. That's why I use it in my repos for mocks and UX flows

@lobau I'll check it tomorrow! Thank you!

@alx have you heard of @penpot? Not sure how developed their whiteboarding tools are though. 🤔

And then there’s Excalidraw, which I think has a “multiplayer” mode. 🤔

https://excalidraw.com/

@amxmln thank you! I didn't know @penpot had a whiteboarding feature

Yes I looked at Excalidraw, but for some reason I don't know, when I save it and try to reopen it, it says the file - the same one it just saved in an excalidraw format - is invalid. I scrolled through their GitHub repo, but couldn't find any solution to it

@alx @penpot actually, I’m not sure if they have one. 😅 But I guess you could use it as a whiteboard relatively easily, just like you could in Figma before FigJam was introduced. 😊

Oh that’s weird. 😳 Hopefully it’s just a very temporary bug…

@amxmln I'm exploring @penpot which looks very nice, but as I'm planning to use this board for a workshop where there might be non-designers and especially non-UX designer, I need something a bit more intuitive (though I'm really liking penpot!)

Excalidraw might really be the answer, but I need to figure out how to maintain the board for future access!

@amxmln@mastodon.design avatar

@alx I see, yeah that makes a lot of sense! 😊 Best of luck with finding a solution and all the best for your workshop!

@alx I'm not sure if attendees need to sign in, but https://meet.jit.si/ is a good option. If you install your own instance (it's FOSS), then no sign in required

@adelgado thank you, but I'm looking for a whiteboard, not a video conferencing tool.

adelgado,
@adelgado@eu.mastodon.green avatar

@alx it has a whiteboard

alx,
@alx@mastodon.design avatar

@adelgado I can find simply the whiteboard. Is it something I can access and prepare before the meeting, and then remain accessible when the meeting is done? Does it allow for download?
Sorry, to ask, but I'm looking for something that can be used independently from the meeting software, as the workshop I am planning will be done in during various events which have their own videoconference tool of choice

adelgado,
@adelgado@eu.mastodon.green avatar

@alx the service in meet.jit.si is free and available, you can try it now. Maybe there is someone else from the team in the fediverse that might see this and help you out

adelgado,
@adelgado@eu.mastodon.green avatar

@alx and do you know https://alternativeto.net/ ? If there is a product similar you can search it and find other similar ones that might have the specs you need

flowchainsenseisocial,

@alx Maybe Figma?

alx,
@alx@mastodon.design avatar

@flowchainsenseisocial I am trying to ditch Figma since they integrated Open AI features as opt-out (instead of opt-in) and drafts cannot be excluded from AI scraping.

Highly unethical behaviour.
