Would I pay for that?
We have been preparing for the launch of a premium paid version of skrbl within the next few days. Got some great features built, and other cool features planned for the future.
A major release is always a hectic and exciting time, but as we plan, design, build and test (and repeat, and repeat...) one question bugs me again and again - Would you pay for that?
Do we have the right feature mix? Will you find it as useful as we do? Will you like it as much as we do? Agonize, agonize, agonize... The fact is, startups like us have very little margin for error. Since we don't have the bankroll to cushion our mistakes, potentially the future of (our) World rides on every decision :)
Hmm, maybe I've been thinking about this all wrong. We actually sound like super heroes (The ginormous coder guy?) saving the World day after day. And as everyone knows we super heroes are the good guys, and in the end the good guys always win.
So fear not dear heart, up the caffeine doze & CODE ON.

If it had full features, I would pay for it. It is a no deal if there isn't an undo button. Basically, all the features in Paint would have to be there.
Skrbl has enormous potential. I'll pay any **reasonable** price for skrbl premium *if*:
[] an undo (like anonymous said) was present
[] "erase" that's more like an eraser rather than one pen stroke at a time or the whole page at a time
[] "pencil characteristics" pull downs that behave predictably and then get out of the way
[] someone on feedback said make "pencil" default. That's a good one; I don't use typed text in Skrbl.
Otherwise, Skrbl is great.
I have developed something similiar for my site

I too wonder the future of this technology. It seems to me that it has to happen and become as common as text chat. I wonder if the large players are working on a commercial grade application?
