About WBO
From the project's README at github.com/lovasoa/whitebophir. Lightly cleaned for readability; for the full source see the upstream repo.
WBO is an online collaborative whiteboard that allows many users to draw simultaneously on a large virtual board. The board is updated in real time for all connected users, and its state is always persisted. It can be used for many different purposes, including art, entertainment, design, teaching.
A demonstration server is available at wbo.ophir.dev Screenshots
If you have your own web server, and want to run a private instance of WBO on it, you can. It should be very easy to get it running on your own server. Running the code in a container (safer)
