I made a paint program. You can paint on the same page as anyone else who’s there. At the same time. It’s very basic, but now I can move on to more complicated things 🙂

I don’t know if you can, but now add a “save as” feature 😃

pretty cool, I’m working on a socket project too.  
saxx is right, a “save” feature would be nice 🙂

Love it, didn’t get to experience this application with any users on it at the time but it seems it would be interesting to write messages to each other in real time. Also yes a “Save” feature would be quite helpful as then you could have users come on at different time periods and still be able to talk to each other. Maybe have it refresh after 12 hours or even you might consider an erase option, so users could just erase spots for them to add their own graffiti.

Those are exactly the updates I’ve been planning. The orig idea is for it to be that background of a website that anyone can update.

Just wish I was better at PHP!
