One of the clients Hill Holliday’s Project Beacon team partnered with was IdeaPaint – a local company that makes paint which can turn any wall into a dry-erase board. Our team built Bounce to solve a simple problem of what happens when the meeting is over and you want to save and continue the white-board session online.

My initial development time was spent on a prototype app to find the most efficient way for a user to capture and clean up a whiteboard photo. Using CoreImage and custom CIFilters I implemented a system to automatically detect, rectify and filter the whiteboard image from a wide range of shooting conditions. Working with our UX and design team I expanded this initial prototype to further incorporate sharing and collaboration by allowing multiple users to comment and edit on each other’s work. The beta version of Bounce was distributed via TestFlight to collect user feedback and a release version of Bounce was shipped to the App Store in the Spring of 2015. The app uses a Parse.com self hosted Parse back end and was built with Swift. I’ve been maintaining the app releasing minor bug-fixes, and updating the code base with each version of Swift since it’s initial launch.

Update: This app was sunset-ted on July 2017 and has since been removed from the app store.
