## Scribble
A cross-platform (windows/linux) digital whiteboard application
### Tech Stack
- [C#/.NET](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/): Core
- [Avalonia UI](https://avaloniaui.net): For consistent cross-platform user interface
- [Icons8](https://icons8.com): Icons
- [SkiaSharp](https://skiasharp.com): Graphics rendering
- [SignalR](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/apps/aspnet/signalr): Collaborative drawing
- [Render + Docker](https://render.com/): Hosting the SignalR server
### Current Progress
**Existing tools**: Pencil, Eraser, Pan, Line, Arrow, Ellipse, Rectangle, Select, Text
**I'm working on**:
- UI/UX improvements
- Layering system
## Local Setup
### Prerequisites
* [.NET SDK](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download) (Version 8.0 or newer recommended)
### Running the Application
To run Scribble locally, you will need to start both the backend server and the client application.
1. **Clone the repository and restore the packages:**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/TruePadawan/Scribble.git
cd Scribble
dotnet restore
```
2. **Run the program**
```bash
cd Scribble.Desktop
dotnet run
```
3. If you want to use multi-user drawing, you have to run the Scribble.Server project first (can just set up multi project launch on whatever IDE you're using)
```bash
cd Scribble.Server
dotnet run
```
