Comment on Show HN: OurBoard – free and open source online whiteboard

Comments

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.

Given the racist stuff being thrown around on it now, it’s probably better that you just make it generate a random new board with example data.

Yes. The shared global board definitely has to go. Should have known not to trust people to behave…

At some point I have to wonder if it is actual racists or HN users poking holes into moderation, security, etc. This seems a bit too niche to be the target of random actual racists.

Racism is .. well, everywhere. The technical community isn't immune to it.
