Whiteboard Application

Using PySide6 to make a Whiteboard with over-the-network capabilities.

Progress So Far

• Can draw
• Can erase
• Can change size of the pen using the dial
• Can change colour
• Can clear the screen
• Undo & Redo
• Open new whiteboard
• Save and load whiteboards
• Be able to draw shapes (ellipse, rectangle and straight line) using the mouse
• Have users working on the same whiteboard from different PCs
  In this, have a main server as a TCP server, then connect to main server using QTcpSocket from the clients.
  Have redis store temporary info for sessions i.e. host and clients etc

TODO

• Have pages within a single whiteboard
• Give access to users (Google Drive-esque)
  
• See about multithreading and proper message framing
