Remote whiteboard interview app

Everything went remote because of covid-19, even whiteboard interviews. So I thought it is good if there is an app that has a collaborative code editor with compile/run functionality, a collaborative drawing board, and video chat at the same place. Those are the 3 main things we need for an interview, in fact, to teach code online as well.

I wanted to learn a new tech this year, so picked up MEVN and started working on this project. I completed the Code editor, drawing board part. Looking into video chat. You can check my progress collab.keencoder.dev/

Note: If you are checking out the app, please be patient, it is very slow as the backend is hosted on Heroku free dynos, it goes to sleep mode.

FYI, Hackerrank recently released a similar product, which is really good.
