Stanford iPhone App Final Project – iBoard

April 5th, 2010 | 11,731 views | 11 Comments » |

This is the iPhone app that I’m working on with my friend John Hiesey. iBoard is a networked drawing app that allows multiple users from around the world to draw together on the same drawing canvas in real-time. Use it to share your ideas — diagram, brainstorm, sketch, or doodle with your friends from around the world in real-time.

The video is from the final project presentations for the Stanford course CS193P: iPhone Programming. Before our demo, our iPod touch was accidentally disconnected from the server, so it caused a hiccup in our demo — but we still proved that it works using the iPhone simulators on our Macbook Pros.

Also, the name iBoard is likely to change before we put it on the App Store. Please share your comments and feedback!

    nice, feross and john. are you planning to support vector objects or shapes so that sloppy art can be made more organized, attractive, etc.? not all of us are up to doing new yorker covers… would probably need to make conversions optional. curve smoothing might also be sweet.

    Congratulations Feross and John. That looks really an amazing app. Me (Tiago from Portugal) and a friend of mine (Nuno who is studying in London) started a company this year (Radioactive Popcorn) related to webdesign and user experience. Although most of our work focuses on web development we are now heading towards iphone programming and development. Not only this will allow us to communicate from long distances but it’s also great to see people who share the same interests. If there is anything that we can help please let me know.

    Keep up the good work. Cheers

    Hey Feross,

    This is extremely impressive. How long have you been working on this project? And when do you anticipate having this application on the App Store?

    Hi Nick,

    John and I finished this app in about 3 days. We are actively working on it and it should be on the App Store soon.

    Hi,

    I just saw your presentation of iBoard on iTunesU. I am impressed. THIS is what I call a cool app.
    So: I am curious about your progress on the AppStore approval progress. Are you in already? I noticed there is an app called iBoard already but it’s more like a sticky note thing. The other apps, like you said only work over WiFi or Bluetooth, so YOUR app is what I really need.

    BTW: How does this work internally? How does the communication work over the web? With firewalls, how do you go around that? Do you have a server set up that handles all connections?

    Keep it up!
    Yours
    Matt

    Feross,

    It looks very promising. It must feel good to apply what you have learnt in school to build something useful. Hopefully you can recover your tuition from the app. Keep up the good work!
