Everyone Draw - Draw art with people around the world on an infinite canvas

A single pixel is just a dot. It has no meaning. But what if we combine hundreds of millions of pixels from people from all over the world? Together, we can create characters. Create cities. Create worlds. The possibilities are endless! What will you draw?

I've been casually building Everyone Draw for over 2 years, and I'm thrilled to share some updates! Since its inception, over 285,000 artists have drawn over 330 million pixels on this collaborative canvas... one pixel at a time! In the mobile app, you'll find new features such as... Live View - Watch other people drawing in real time. Timelapse - Generate a replay of your favorite area of the canvas. Bookmarks - Save the drawings you want to return to.

Wish we had more products like this launching (or featured πŸ‘€). Such a breath of fresh air! Thank you @sean_gransee and all the best today, you have my support!
@izakotim Thank you! I hope you find some drawings you like while scrolling around the canvas πŸ˜ƒ

For those of you who haven't experienced r/place, which is like an event on reddit where people from all over reddit come together and create art on a blank canvas, this is a good way to experience it. Go ahead and experience it, it's always fun Congrats on the launch!
@glen_dsouza_1 Yep! Funny enough, I actually didn't even know about r/place when I first built Everyone Draw.

This sounds amazing, @sean_gransee! How do you plan to handle moderation with so many users contributing? Would love to know more about the community's feedback on these new features!
@ema_elisi There's an awesome team of volunteer moderators that does all the heavy lifting there. They do a ton of work behind the scenes that nobody sees, and this project wouldn't be possible without them.

Wow Sean! You made my day. It's not only about working, we need to have fun too. Loved the idea and even more how the canvas looks. Such an amazing art!
@german_merlo1 Heh, I’m just trying to make Product Hunt less boring.

@sean_gransee You already made it!

Congrats, @sean_gransee! Excited to see how Everyone Draw has evolved. The real-time drawing feature sounds especially cool! Looking forward to trying the new updates.
@zanereed596 Heh, the "real-time drawing feature" is basically the entire app!
Alex
@sean_gransee Haha, you got me! Guess I'll have to dive in right now and experience the entire app for myself! πŸ˜„

Hey Sean, I'm wondering about moderation. How do you handle potential inappropriate content? Are there any plans to add more advanced drawing tools beyond basic pixels? Congrats on the launch!
@kyrylosilin There's an awesome team of volunteer moderators that handles this. This project absolutely wouldn't be possible without them. No plans to introduce more advanced drawing tools. The simplicity is a big part of the appeal.

Just a thought that crossed my mind. What if you turned it into a joke, like a chocolate advent calendar treasure hunt? You could hide a pattern within a random sequence of pixels that rewards a prize to a random user. I don’t know, but it sounds like fun to me! 😏

I can see myself spending hours just drawing and checking out what others have created . Can't wait to start !
@kadyouilina And now, you can make a timelapse of what you’ve drawn! (In the mobile app)

It's like a giant community canvas where everyone's creativity can shine.

Such a fun project! I've already spent more than an hour just exploring the amazing art everyone has on there. Really cool. Congratulations on the launch!
@anushabanerjee Yay! So glad you're enjoying it :) Did you find anything in particular that you thought was cool?
Anusha Banerjee
Hey there @sean_gransee :) The fact that endless canvas = endless possibilities. There's nothing like human creativity, and Everyone Draws is the perfect place to see it in action. I am currently OBSESSED with the pixel-cities, and the roads leading to different spaces within the canvas?! *chefs kiss* That's what I'm talking about! Thank you for making it possible! :)
@anushabanerjee 😍😍😍😍😍

Wow, @sean_gransee, this sounds amazing! The stats are mind-blowing with 285k artists contributing to over 330 million pixels! I'm curious, how are you handling the moderation aspect on such a massive collaborative platform? With so many artists, do you have any strategies to maintain a positive community vibe? And are there plans to introduce any gamification elements to encourage even more engagement? This could really enhance the UX! Can't wait to dive into the Live View feature!
@ezshine I'm crowdsourcing the reports, and then there's an amazing team of volunteer moderators that goes through the reports and takes action on them. That team also does a lot of the community-oriented stuff in our Discord. No plans at the moment to introduce gamification elements. Part of the appeal of the app is how simple it is.
