Shared whiteboard server for Stylus Labs Write - enables multiple users to collaborate in real time on a handwritten document. To set your server as the default in Write, enable advanced preferences, then in the Advanced -> Whiteboard server field enter the host name or IP address of the machine running this server.

To connect to a different server and/or with a different username than the default, use the following format for the whiteboard ID in the Open Whiteboard and Create Whiteboard dialogs:

[user[:password]@server/]whiteboard_id

Usage: Install node.js and npm, clone this repo and run npm install, then run node whiteboard.js. Tested with node.js 12.18.3 (and 0.10.36)

By default, runs in anonymous mode, accepting all connections. To require login, specify a sqlite database file with the --db argument or db option in config file. dbUtil.js can be used to create and add users to the database - run node dbUtil.js help for options.
