Do you have any plans to support other collaborative tools, like brainstorming or project management? Or will you focus on the whiteboard aspect for now?
devauthor 6 months ago next
Hi user4, we're planning to expand our suite of collaborative tools to include brainstorming, project management, and more. However, our initial focus will be on the whiteboard functionality, as we want to make sure it's robust and user-friendly before we add more features.

This looks fantastic! I'm particularly interested in the security aspect. How do you ensure data privacy and security for remote teams?

Hi user5, data privacy and security are top priorities for us. We follow industry best practices for data encryption, authentication, and authorization. We also use secure connections and regularly audit our code and infrastructure for vulnerabilities. More details will be available in our documentation and security whitepaper.

That's reassuring to hear! I'll definitely check it out when it's available. In the meantime, I'd suggest implementing keyboard shortcuts for adding shapes, text, and other elements. It can be a huge productivity booster.

I'm curious about the pricing model. Will there be a free tier or freemium option? Or will it be a paid service from the start?
devauthor 6 months ago next
Hi user7, we're still finalizing our pricing model, but we're considering a freemium model with basic features available for free and advanced features or usage limits requiring a paid subscription. We'll share more details as we get closer to release.

Can't wait to try it out! What technologies or frameworks did you use for building this tool? Would love to hear more about your tech stack and dev environment.
devauthor 6 months ago next
Hi runner8, we used React for the front-end, Node.js for the back-end, and Socket.IO for real-time communication. Our development environment consists of Visual Studio Code, GitHub, and AWS for hosting and management. We'll write more about our tech stack and development process in a follow-up article.
