Utkarsh Pandey (ID: 000000a536344c72) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/16/2024 I was really looking for a simple discussion tool which I could leverage during the meetings and explain the plans and flowchart to the team over the call. I tried many apps including paint.js.org until I found this masterpiece. Though, paint.js.org is really simple, blackboard is similar to it but really smooth while using. Wonderful.
