Doodleboard

Hello Product Hunters 👋, What inspired this? I was sketching out ideas for a side project and wanted the simplest possible way to draw something and share it. No accounts, no uploads, no friction - just draw and send a link. I started wondering: what if a drawing app worked like a text file? What if your canvas could live entirely in a URL that you own and control? That question turned into a weekend experiment, which turned into Doodleboard. The problem: You just want to draw something and share it. You don't want to create an account. You don't want your sketches stored on a server you don't control. You don't want to wonder who's looking at your data or when they'll start charging you. Every drawing tool today assumes you want cloud sync, collaboration features, and a monthly subscription. Sometimes you just want a canvas. How it evolved: Started as a single HTML file experiment—could I build a usable drawing app with zero dependencies? Then I added compression so drawings could live entirely in the URL hash. Then localStorage for persistence. Then a service worker for offline support. The constraint I set: no server, ever. Your data literally cannot leak because there's nowhere for it to go. Everything lives in your browser and your URL. Share by copying a link. That's it. Added the tools people actually use: shapes, arrows, freehand drawing, text, sticky notes. Kept it under one HTML file. If a feature required a backend, it didn't make it in. What I'd love feedback on: - Is "no server" actually a selling point for you, or just a nice-to-have? - What drawing features would make this your go-to tool? - Any collaboration features that could work without compromising the privacy-first approach? Thanks for checking it out! Happy to answer any questions about the weird technical decisions.
