Obneq first public preview

By bootstrapping

Today I am announcing the first public preview of Obneq. Obneq is a collaborative whiteboard. This is a preview release (early access) it does not represent the final shape of the application.

I have started working on Obneq couples of month back when I got bored working on back-end systems on my day job. So I decided to work on GUI intensive application in my free time. Yes this was a hobby project! Only very recently I got serious thinking to make it into a much useful product. So all sort of feedback is welcomed.

Obneq allow multiple people to work collaboratively on a whiteboard. And … and …

Well why not you just see the screen shot and decide yourselves!

Even better visit the web site www.obneq.com and discover yourself.

 

FAQ

Only a small group of people has access to this website for last couple of week and there are some frequently asked questions.

Why does Obneq mean?

There is a hint on the main page!

Why <put your favorite browser and version here> is not supported?

Huh? <put your favorite browser and version here> is a browser? Sorry I did not know :P OK now I know about if you are willing to help be out with cross browser issues and other logistic issues (like I do not have a Mac) I willing to support <put your favorite browser and version here>

Is this a Web 2.0 application? [The most funny question asked]

No! No! It is not a Web 2.0 application. It is a Web 3.0 application! Can not you see Obneq do not have any Beta/Alpha tag on its logo!

Why you have used ancient (dead) language like Java?!? [This question is the most burning question, I will write a complete blog entry about it]

Why I have not used the next cool languages Ruby, Python, Erlang, Lisp/Scheme, <put your favorite language here>, etc

Why I have touched this cursed/bloated/dead language Java?

First of all I am not a fan-boy of Java. I hate Java as much as a Ruby fan-boy does! But I also hate Ruby as much as Python fan-boy and I hate Python as much as …..

Truth to be told I have not found my love of life so far. I do have crush on Lisp a little bit. But I am still looking for love of life!

More on this later…

Will the service continue?

Definitely it will till I can afford the hosting.

Can I propose a new feature?

Off course you can. Flames, blames and suggestions are welcome.
