Hi everyone! I’m a math teacher and web developer from Poland.

I’ve spent the last year building a whiteboard tool for online teaching, mainly because I was frustrated with how bloated or limiting other tools felt during actual lessons. I wanted something simple, fast to open, easy to share, and better suited for explaining math live.

The app started in Polish, but there’s an English version now too. I’ll drop the link in the first comment.

If you teach or tutor online, I’d really appreciate honest feedback.

Thanks — I’d love to hear what you think.

Here is example of my app, link in the comment:

video call on Lucyboard

Hi all,

I’ve been building Lucyboard, an online workspace mainly for tutoring, but also workshops, Agile planning, and visual collaboration.

The reason I started it was pretty practical. I’m a math tutor, and I got tired of using whiteboard tools that made lessons harder instead of easier. A lot of them had awkward limits, clunky workflows, or just weren’t built for actually explaining things live.

What started from tutoring is turning into something broader for small teams and service businesses.

Right now, Lucyboard is useful for things like:

• running client workshops
• teaching and tutoring online
• brainstorming with a team
• sprint planning and retros
• mapping ideas, processes, or project flows
• sharing a board quickly with a client or teammate and working live together

Some of the features include:

• real-time collaboration
• sticky notes, text, drawing, shapes, and arrows
• math formulas, graphs, and calculator tools
• PDFs, images, and embedded content
• quick sharing by link
• live video/whiteboard collaboration

What I’m trying to understand now is where this fits best from a business point of view.

If you run a small business, agency, tutoring business, consulting practice, or remote team, I’d really value your input:

• Does this sound like something you’d actually use?
• Which use case sounds strongest: client workshops, internal planning, or teaching?
• If you were in my position, would you focus on one niche first or keep it broader?

I’m the founder, so feedback is welcome.

Hey,

I've been building Lucyboard - it's an online whiteboard for teams that want to brainstorm, run workshops, plan work, teach, learn and collaborate live in the browser.

The idea is: open a board, send a link, and start working together right away.

I wanted something that actually supports real team workflows, from early ideas to structured planning.

It started from my own frustration as a math tutor. I kept using whiteboards during lessons, but most of them either got in the way, had annoying limits, or made simple things harder than they should be. And almost none of them had proper math-focused tools.

So Lucyboard started from that frustration, but it's growing into something broader.

Some of the things Lucyboard is built for:

• real-time collaboration
• sticky notes, text, drawing, shapes and arrows
• workshops and brainstorming
• sprint planning and retros
• math formulas, graphs, calculator
• PDFs, images and embedded content
• quick sharing by link
• video calls with screen and whiteboard sharing live

The main idea is: fast to start, but still strong enough for real work.

Tech-stack: NestJS, TypeScript, React, Tailwind, Zustand, Socket io, Redis, Framer Motion, LiveKit, custom HTML5 canvas renderer and many many others...

Still early, so honest feedback matters more to me than polite feedback.

I will put the link in the first comment.

Thanks :)

Hi Reddit! I'm a math teacher and a web developer. I'm a bit nervous because this is my first post here.

I want to share a side project that took me over a year to build. As a math teacher, I hated that popular whiteboards felt bloated and had too many limits. On the flip side, I always loved tools that let you just open a board and draw without forcing you to create an account.

So, I combined those ideas and built my own solution. (I'll drop the link in the first comment)

I'm from Poland, so the app was originally in Polish, but the English version should work fine (please let me know if you spot any weird translations). Since I'm also a dev, soon I will make sure to include some agile/planning tools as well.

Right now, I just really need some honest feedback. If you are a tutor, teacher, or project manager, please try it out. If you find it useful for your daily work, reach out to me via the contact form on the site – I'd love to give you full, unlimited access to all features in exchange for your thoughts on how to improve it.

Thank you! Let me know what you think.
