Reflectrospective
by Carbonite
Reflectrospective is a real-time reflection tool, providing shared boards for you and teammates to remotely create, edit, and group thoughts, at the same-time, in realtime.
Judging Instructions
How to Use It
- Enter a board by giving its name or clicking on an existing one (and have someone else do the same).
- Login with a gravatar e-mail address or twitter username (e.g. @carbonfive or @node_knockout)
- Create a stickie by clicking “Add a Thought” and start typing. Stickies beginning with “I like” turn green, and those beginning with “I wish” turn red.
- Drag stickies together to group them together.
- Click another sitckie’s text to start editing it.
- Float over stickies to see all the users who have edited it.
- Watch as other also connected to the same board drag and edit the stickies, either here on the homescreen!

contestantIt should have some login method, cause right now you can pretend to be anyone.
And possibility to create private boards.
dGoligorskyjudgeCould be a great platform for forums and message boards. I like that you can move the notes and cluster them. I wish I could pin some notes together or have layers I could control (like putting one note in front of the other and keeping that hierarchy.) How could the notes show age? What do the different colors mean? I’d like to be able to click on the avatar or the note author and see what other notes they wrote. Trying to understand the main differences between writing a new note or writing on top of an existing one. Seems like redundant way of creating information and it could get cluttered instead of organized. Nice job. Like the wood background and the discussion about quarter-sawn maple and bookmatched pine. Nice conversation.

contestantWorks as expected. Has a clean finish to it.
joehitchensjudgeDecent. It’s something and it seems to have few bugs. Well done!
ekryskijudgeThis is a great start to a project! The CSS isn’t too fancy but I really don’t mind because the app does what it’s supposed to. There isn’t a lot of functionality yet but I see the potential. It is seamless to sign in and the real time collaboration really works well!
henrikberggrenjudgeI could see it being useful for certain situations. But, why use the wooden board, sticky note metaphor?

contestantI like the concept of using stickies for reflection.
I wish you would’ve documented the “I like/I wish” stuff on the site itself.
I like the overall design.
I wish I had a way to create a private board just for myself (or people I can invite) since this is supposed to be about reflection.
The content sensitive colors are a nice touch but a bit confusing. It would be nice to be able to add photos and other objects to the board, as well as be able to tell who wrote what.
