powerboard

Inspiration

We all have been using Google Docs to collaborate, we wanted to bring the most authentic whiteboard experience for all users on the go. Powerboard takes the online whiteboard to the next level and provides users with functions and features which are extremely useful in real life while having a simple yet a highly functional UI. We believe that "true real-time" experience of a whiteboard has finally been done right.

What it does

///Connects multiple users on the network to use and contribute to Powerboard in real-time

///Handwriting to text conversion for taking down personal notes while working on Powerboard

///Draw a math formula/equation on Powerboard and it will try to solve it in real-time

///Convert math formula/equations from Powerboard to LaTeX

///Multiple marker colours for better highlighting and differentiating between users content

///Various marker thickness/weights available to emphasize important points

///Save your Powerboard sessions and continue where you left off'

--BONUS FEATURE-- ///PLAY TIC-TAC-TOE WITH YOUR FRIENDS

How we built it
