Spacedeck Open is a free, open-source, web-based collaborative whiteboard application with rich media support, originally a commercial SaaS that was open-sourced in 2018. It lets users create virtually unlimited-size 'Spaces' with drag-and-drop images, video, audio, text formatting, drawing tools, and realtime multi-user collaboration.

Use cases

• self-host a collaborative whiteboard for a classroom
• run a mood board tool for design brainstorming
• collaborate in realtime on a visual planning board
• create zooming multimedia presentations
• take visual notes with images, video and audio
• replace the shut-down spacedeck.com SaaS with a local instance

When to choose

• you need a self-hosted whiteboard with rich media (images, video, audio) support
• you want realtime collaboration for education or creative teams
• you prefer an AGPL open-source alternative to commercial whiteboard SaaS
• you want zooming presentation features built into a whiteboard

When to avoid

• you need a lightweight single-user drawing app without collaboration
• you cannot run Node.js and Graphicsmagick on your server
• you need polished PDF/ZIP export, which is still being fixed
• you want a mobile-native whiteboard app rather than a web application
