Slate

What is Slate and what is it for?

Slate is a Holochain app for drawing together in real time, where several people work on the same canvas and see each other's strokes and shapes as they are added. It is made for groups that want a shared drawing space they can add to a Moss group, and it can also be used on its own as a stand-alone Holochain app.

Slate is a drawing app built on Holochain, the peer-to-peer framework, and made by Lightningrod Labs alongside a family of other Holochain tools. Its early purpose is documented in how it is offered: a drawing capability for The Weave and for use inside Moss, the group-workspace app, and also a stand-alone Holochain app in its own right.

In human terms, it is a shared canvas. Several people open the same drawing and work on it at once, and what one person draws shows up for the others as it happens rather than being saved and passed around. The drawing surface comes from Excalidraw, while the live back-and-forth between participants is handled by Holochain's Syn library.

That makes it useful to a group that already meets in a Moss space and wants to sketch a plan, a layout or a diagram together without leaving the space for a separate service. The code and the development instructions live at the project's GitHub repository, and Lightningrod Labs describes Slate on its own site.
