app-ing an industry won't allow you to charge more for the same service. Real innovation is supposed to bring costs down and productivity up which in turn increase demand for the service.
Hope you got my point. The above are only meant as an example.
Main idea is to cripple* the free tier enough to push a chunk of current users from free into pro. Some will leave but you don't want them anyway (they will never pay).
* how exactly cripple? This is the product design / product-market-fit stage work that was skipped when building jsbin.com
Even though typing normal text is faster, noting by hand doesn't use as much brain resources so it's possible to listen and note at the same time. Keying occupies abstract mind to the point you cannot process words with the same depth of understanding. Thinking / designing is also MUCH easier in front of a plank page than in front of screen & keyboard.
That sounds awesome! That's one of those problems that I've had in the "Someday Maybe" bin for a long time, but I've been perpetually hoping that someone else comes up with a solution so that I can just pay them money instead of having to do it myself.
I finished something like this too, after working on it for about a year: http://papertogether.com/ Of course it's not as fully featured, but it was a fun experience. I'm surprised to see that so many others had this idea and implemented it too - I thought I was the only one interested in collaborative drawing.
I tried out the zooming capability (nice) but it seems like your stroke width does not change in response to the zoom level (at least not in lock step)? So the redness in the lady's dress changes as you zoom. Isn't that a problem?
Keeping "real" thickness slows down rendering by a factor of 1.5-2 depending on browser used. Images look better though. I'm not sure what users want at this stage of the project. Perhaps a toggle?
Thanks, didn't know about bigpicture.js. The whole idea isn't that super new.
Not sure if I communicated it across: Writelive drawings are always updated in real time. Think shared whiteboard. Co-drawing / co-writing. Currently you can only view via web. Drawing is limited to Android - drawing without a pressure sensitive stylus offers bad experience anyway.
