A brainstorming board that keeps up with the room
Flocci Draw hosts live brainstorms on a free infinite canvas: share one edit link and everyone writes, sketches, and clusters ideas simultaneously with visible cursors. Participants need no accounts, the canvas never runs out of space, and the result exports to PNG for the follow-up.
Everyone draws at once
A brainstorm dies when one person holds the pen. With a shared edit link, every participant gets a cursor — ideas land in parallel, sketches appear next to words, and clustering happens by dragging, live. Presence avatars show who is on the board, and the laser pointer lets a facilitator direct attention without drawing.
Because joining is just opening a link, the first five minutes of the meeting are not spent on account creation. That friction difference is the whole reason quick-start canvases beat workshop suites for ad-hoc sessions.
Freeform beats templates for divergent thinking
Sticky-note grids quietly constrain what kind of ideas show up. A blank infinite canvas accepts a sketch, a diagram, a word cloud, or a storyboard equally — which is what divergent thinking needs. Converge later by drawing frames around clusters and arrows between related ideas.
When the session ends, the board persists: autosave has been running throughout, so the follow-up email is just the share link (switched to view-only) or an exported PNG.
How to get started
- Create the board. Sign in, create a canvas, and title it with the brainstorm question.
- Invite with one link. Share the edit link in chat — participants join with no accounts.
- Diverge in parallel. Everyone adds ideas as text and sketches simultaneously.
- Converge and keep. Cluster with frames and arrows, then switch the link to view-only.
Frequently asked questions
How many people can brainstorm on one board?
A typical brainstorm group — a team or classroom — works smoothly, with each person's cursor and edits visible live. There is no per-seat charge; collaboration is included with a cloud canvas.
Do participants need Flocci accounts?
No — only the board owner does. Everyone else joins via the share link straight into the canvas.
Can I lock the board after the session?
Yes. Switch the share link to view-only or revoke it entirely; the board stays intact in your workspace either way.
