At the beginning of 2021, we made a commitment to improve our product, features, and build the most secure and collaborative whiteboard experience for all! This year, we can confidently say we’ve kept that promise, all thanks to the innovative and constructive feedback you’ve given us along the way.
Before we charge into 2022, it’s important we reflect on how far we’ve come together, the work we’ve done to deliver on our promise, and the direction we plan to go. So, please join us as we look back on the accomplishments, we’ve achieved together this year!
