A small HTML canvas drawing app (and embeddable widget) I did so I could use my (non-iPad) tablet for drawing quick sketches. A few people suggested I add collaboration, which was a nice excuse to play with node.js :)

Tech used: node.js/nowjs for synchronising the drawings, jquery/canvas for the frontend, flask for saving/posting the images.

The syncing doesn't work for me when I open 2 browsers and share it to myself..? Does it just share the initial state (which worked great) or also updates?

It should share the updates too. If it doesn't work for you, could you please let me know which browsers you use (here, tweet to @awwapp or mail me)? Thanks!

Was just about to ask about the syncing. Nice job, it's fun! And thanks for this comment.
