room.sh co-founder here. Thanks! :) We've got loads of cool stuff on the horizon so stay tuned.

That being said, happy to answer any questions if anyone has any.

As a suggestion, the website allows you to type a room name, which opens a new tab and asks you for the room name again, certainly the second step could be avoided.
The second step is asking for your name, not the room name, so that you can be identified by others in the room. But noted, there might be room to make that clearer!
why should i create an account if i have mural ? ( no trolling, just observing the space)
Great question. Room's main differentiator between a lot of the other suggested products on this thread is that it's not just a collaborative whiteboard. It also includes collaborative document and code editors (and potentially more types of modules in the future).

Room also has video chat built in, where the videos of the folks you're collaborating with hover around the workspace.

Ultimately these attributes combine to make room.sh a cleaner and easier alternative to cobbling together some combination of Zoom, Google Docs, and Figma (to use some prominent examples) for your team.

Also, you don't even need to create an account to try it out! We'd love if you gave it a whirl and left us some feedback in the box in our navbar :)
