About

Goal: Allow users to collaborate frictionlessly and in realtime. Built atop the new R2V.me API and the cloud storage API from Dropbox, our app allows document presenters to 1) take over any display in just seconds, 2) select a doc from their dropbox folder and 3) instantly push that document to the target display. Audience members can then 4) join the session, and 5) annotate the presenters slide from their smartphones. 6) All edits, by all users are instantly sync'd to the presenters target display AND all participants smartphones.

A tough 24hrs hack, but we tied for the Dropbox prize == free dropbox for life! Thanks for all the comments. we will get to answering after we get some well earned sleep... #hackeverything

QR code didn't fit use case well but I like the hack in a day. Good job. Integrates well with meeting invites.

it would of been nice to see the user flow how easy or hard it would be to set up. I also wanted to see how many users are logged into and sharing.

Jonathan Cobb - 2449d

a very challenging problem to solve, could this work with other sharing/collaboration tools?

Touraj Parang - 2449d

UX on the creation of QR code needs to be streamlined significantly. Need to also provide better use cases as on the collaboration scenarios

Blake Commagere - 2449d

I really liked the design - however, the space of real-time collaboration tools is crowded.

Steve Marx - 2449d

Nice idea! I'd love to see an interface other than QR codes, too. I'd also like to see a way for others to actually download the file locally (not just view in the browser).

Jenny Belotserkovsky - 2449d

Should be a fairly straightforward way to share and edit documents for realtime collaboration.

NICE! Watch out I think google docs and a several others will be looking to copy this one. Or acquihire you :-)

Pretty slick but think it's a somewhat crowded space?
