3d (2.5d) collaborative drawing site. Powered by CouchDB and hosted by iriscouch.com. Source code: https://github.com/clehner/dimensional-drawing

Inspired by webcanvas.com and my earlier site, theinfinitemaze.com.

Some features I am considering adding: - more drawing tools, such as line and curve - a button to jump to areas of recent drawing activity - more explanatory info

Feedback is much appreciated. Enjoy.

Looks great and I really enjoyed the interactivity. One thing that would be interesting would be a "map at one of the lower corners" that showed the whole field. Just like the world map on a video game where you can see where you are. Also, a bigger eraser would be helpful. :)

The field is infinite; it expands as you move through it. Of course there could be a mini-map showing a fixed area surrounding the viewport. This would add technical complexity, requiring the client to save an additional scaled down copy of each drawing to the db, but it's possible.

You can change the size of the eraser/brush with the palette that appears when you click the color rectangle. Perhaps this isn't obvious. Or did you mean that the maximum brush size isn't big enough?
