A Ukrainian developer under the nickname afin53 created a website for collaborative pixel drawing, where each drawn element is seen by all site visitors simultaneously.
He presented his development on Reddit.
According to the author, he spied the idea in a well-known project where users draw together on a world map, but made his own version — created entirely in Ukraine.
Technically, the project is built on a Supabase database, which stores the X and Y coordinates of each drawn element along with information about the nickname or «closedness» of the area and the selected color; this data is uploaded to an HTML file, which is deployed as a site.
Users have a brush, an eraser, and a «lock» tool to protect their work from interference from others. There is also a general canvas clearing button — if the majority votes for it, everything drawn disappears.
The author recommends accessing the site from a computer, although there is also support for mobile devices, and notes that drawing is more fun with friends — including the idea of having a «battle» to see who can paint the entire canvas with their color the fastest.
