Design review call Whiteboard

2024-06-25

• Create new whiteboard
  • Hide extension in file template picker  #52
  • 🔴 Directly open after creating (looks like a bug in files app right now)
• Whiteboard view
  • Hide viewer header bar and merge actions and close button into the whiteboard header #51
  • 🟡 Style looks good, Highlight color is purple, could be our primary color
  • 🟡 Displaynames should be used (should already be the case), to double check
  • 🟡 Check if excalidraw already has a nice overflow mechanism for lots of avatars being shown, if so remove the users button (top right) - Check if applies to us
  • Libraries
    • Shall we hide them for now? Would still be nice to have -> keep it for now
  • 🟢 Help dialog should work
    • Keep the links, maybe add our repo and attribute to excalidraw as library
    • Hide in enterprise
    • Help link back into the menu and remove the button on the bottom right
  • AI interesting for mid-term
  • 🟢 UI elements look most likely fine, we could look at exact values for --border-radius-element ... but should mostly fine
  • Menu
    • Canvas background buttons ideally be squares
    • Zoom buttons look a bit too small with margin
    • Image export should be back
  • Contextual actions based on drawing tool
    • Boxes for colors should be square
  • 🔴 Insert image from Nextcloud (still to check)
  • Uploaded images are not shared/stored #56
  • Check for excalidraw upstream issues
    • Mode where drawing tool like rectangle is locked but selecting existing nodes still works #57
  • Stroke settings, maybe keep per user/document, for later
  • Embed interactive in text/talk
• The background isn’t white by default (at least maybe in the hosted instance), is that something we can change
• The default font is a bit comic-style and it looks a bit non-serious – for the templates @nimishavijay used the monospace font which looks nice, so maybe we should use that?
• If possible, we can also set the scribbliness to what Nimisha Vijay used for the templates since that looks much cleaner and well designed.
