Show HN: Glassboard – Draw over everything on your Mac, Khan-academy style
stem.psI built and released a Mac app I always wanted to exist:
Glassboard let's you draw over anything on your Mac, across every app and every screen, Khan-academy style!
Hold a keybind and draw. Release and it fades away. That's all! (well, except colors, shapes, a radial menu switcher and keybinds galore). But the basic concept is simple hold, draw, release, continue presenting without losing flow.
Made for frequent screensharers and content creators.
No more wiggling my mouse pointer at what I want to highlight while screensharing.
Try it at https://stem.ps/glassboard. It's completely free and will stay that.
Looks nice. Is the source available somewhere? If not, I'm genuinely interested to know what the incentive to release it as free but closed source is? Does that mean it might go paid at some point?
Fair question... The main reason is that I'm working on a couple of apps at the moment and I'd like to retain the option to add paid pro features to one or more of them at some point.
I don't have any concrete plans for that yet and likely it won't happen at all, but I haven't completely ruled it out yet.
Thought that might be the case, thanks for taking the time to explain!
this is so awesome thank you
