nullzzz··on Help Heroku's free tier is ending
Not sure what sort of UI are you looking for, but I'm quite happy with their dashboard UI including monitoring, logs, metrics, status etc.

You use the CLI for deploying your apps but that is hardly a downside in my books, as this is a tool for people who write Dockerfiles and are, in my experience, usually familiar with the command-line.

That’s bye bye to Twitter then.

Beautiful site. Your kid is very talented. Best of luck to you both!
nullzzz··on Show HN: OurBoard – free and open source online whiteboard
Yeah it’s mobile-dead, works on desktop.
nullzzz··on Show HN: OurBoard – free and open source online whiteboard
Why would that be unfortunate, it sounds awesome! Gotta give it a try.
nullzzz··on Show HN: OurBoard – free and open source online whiteboard
Thanks! May I ask you to open a Github issue on this, and I’m sure we can get u up an running. HN isn’t a great support forum :)

Images can be drag/dropped or copy pasted onto the board. Freeform drawing is not supported.

I come from the software consulting buble. Post it notes everywhere.
nullzzz··on Show HN: OurBoard – free and open source online whiteboard
Yes. The shared global board definitely has to go. Should have known not to trust people to behave…

Here's an Ourboard board that demonstrates the key features of the service. https://www.ourboard.io/b/0b5a9bd8-93ae-446c-afbd-80ebfcb1e0...

It's read-only, but you can select all (Cmd-A), create a new board and paste the contents on a new board of yours on the Ourboard front page.

I now realize that a Fork Board feature might be useful.

Also having second thoughts on whether it's a good idea to have a "default board" that's read-write for anonymous users. Some political content observed on that one today.

Heroku killed the app but it was fortunately span back up quickly. Apparently 512MB memory on a single Heroku dyno is not Hacker News scale. The application does have a horizontally scalable architecture for sharding boards on multiple hosts, it's not just fully deployed as there has mostly been just 1-2 boards in use at any given time.

Okay this is good info, thanks! Created an Issue here: https://github.com/raimohanska/ourboard/issues/160

It's a single-page app so to support in-app navigation (back button etc) it needs to interact with the browser's History API.

That's a good point. It's definitely not a drawing tool. More of an electronic version of post-it notes and images on a whiteboard. You can "draw" diagrams using shapes and arrows and text, but not freeform. I personally haven't missed freeform drawing.

Sorry for that! Could you elaborate on the scenario and your setup so we can see what can be done?
nullzzz··on Show HN: OurBoard – free and open source online whiteboard
Looks cool! Like the super plain appearance and simplicity. Would suit to screencasts and quick diagrams, while OurBoard is more of a collaboration tool, I’d say.
nullzzz··on Show HN: OurBoard – free and open source online whiteboard
Yep, that’s missing and would make sense. It’s an open source hobby project so it’s bound to have some rough corners :)
nullzzz··on Show HN: OurBoard – free and open source online whiteboard
Oof. Would check logs if not at the gym atm IRLOL

Especially the home page is a total disaster :( The actual board view is read-only usable. This is definitely a fixer. Wanna contribute? :)
nullzzz··on Show HN: OurBoard – free and open source online whiteboard
Thanks for the input, that’s highly appreciated! Let’s see about this soonish. You can also use Github issues at https://github.com/raimohanska/ourboard/issues
nullzzz··on Show HN: OurBoard – free and open source online whiteboard
No pen tool sorry! Change log is not fully functional.

Whiteboarding maybe a bit misleading here. Let’s call it a sticky note wall, with images and connectors?

nullzzz··on Show HN: OurBoard – free and open source online whiteboard
No roadmap / plans. Contributions welcome.

You can also self-host this one very easily btw.

nullzzz··on Show HN: OurBoard – free and open source online whiteboard
Quick overview:

- notes, areas for organizing, a few shapes and colors, connectors

- images and videos dragn drop / copypaste

- more on github readme

- not very active development lately. Just today I improved on the front page features

- You get a simple and easy board, where other tools may seem bloated and complex

Done! Src at https://github.com/raimohanska/ourboard

It’s not mobile friendly at all though
nullzzz··on Show HN: OurBoard – free and open source online whiteboard
This is my open-source project. I use it almost daily for simple whiteboarding, notetaking, online whiteboard sessions.

The idea is to have a simple and highly usable, fast alternative to more complex software such as Miro or Mural.

Here's the stack trace parser used. It tries to extract the line number and error message from an Error object. Sorry for the coffeescript!

This looks fun! Would be great to have something that catches runtime errors and highlights them in the source code. Then, of course, code completion etc to make it easy to find stuff.

I started working on a bit similar project some years ago (I unfortunately abandonded it...) but I got one thing right: the ability to highlight the erroneous line. See http://write-a-game.herokuapp.com/ and try to call a non-existent function.
