When searching for a general solution, it is sometimes difficult to express a thought in words, it is much easier to depict it in a drawing ...
The easiest way to describe the essence of My-Sketch.com is already used in the header. This is just a handy collaborative drawing tool.
It allows 2 people to draw various sketches (for example, site schemes, logo basics, etc.) in real-time mode with the possibility of text / voice chat and subsequent saving of the sketches received.
MySketch will come in handy for designers, interface designers and many other people who are at a distance from each other.
Initially, MySketch was developed exclusively for personal needs - the work is connected with the development of sites, and you have to work with various freelancers constantly. And everything would be fine (we are chronically lucky with freelancers), but in some nuances (especially in design), edits often arise. Those involved in the development of sites will understand.
The process of indicating “what the client didn’t like” was quite standard - either describe, or draw in something as it should be. Usually the second one was used, that is, Photoshop was opened (or a pen with a scanner was taken), an approximate sketch of the logo or design scheme (“as the client sees”) was drawn and sent. Then one more time (“* name * already has such a logo”), and one more time (“this scheme runs counter to usability”), and one more time (other little things) ...
In general, distance and lack of direct contact affected. Because of such troubles, the first MySketch prototype appeared. True, then it included only the drawing itself and preservation, but the design was not as such. But the passion for convenience overcame laziness and over time added text chat, various little things (colors, tools, etc.) and voice chat (often MySketch on the phone cost a pretty penny).
Well, then at some point it dawned on us that the product was quite custom and made a design for it (we are especially proud of these two monsters on the preview). That's the whole sucess story.
Try it, use it. Point.
The main creator of the project is Oleg Repin.
