Athena Board vs. Inko vs. Jamboard vs. Urbit Comparison Chart

Draw together with this interactive whiteboard for iPhone, iPad, Apple Pencil, Mac and Apple TV. Brainstorming together, group homework, or having fun while solving a problem are just a few examples. And thanks to peer-to-peer, there’s no need for a complex network setup. Just find a place, and start drawing. And if you’re far away, Inko 2.0 brings remote collaboration over the Internet, in addition to other useful new features such as dark mode support, modernized UI, metal rendering and (wow!) a Mac app. Seeing other participants’ drawing trails as they occur really gives a sense of being part of the group whether you are all in the same place or all around the world. It’s magical. And the drawing always stays sharp at any zoom level. Moreover, the ephemeral highlighter lets you interact by catching others’ attention to a particular place in the canvas, very handy when collaborating.

Urbit is for everyone, but sometimes it is easy to get lost in this universe. Follow these links to contribute to the network through developing, operating, and exploring. It solves the hard problems of implementing a peer-to-peer network (including identity, NAT traversal, and exactly-once delivery) in the kernel so app developers can focus on business logic. The entire OS is a single pure function that provides application developers with strong guarantees: automated persistence and memory management, repeatable builds, and support for hot code reloading. The connected world anticipated by Urbit is a much friendlier one, much like the early Internet, where collegial discussion and collaboration was the norm. Problems that are unsolvable without large-scale political centralization in our current internet – data breaches, spam, fake reviews, malware-spreading, harassment – become tractable when individuals control their computing again.
