Collaborative Drawing in Minutes Using Xano

Build a real-time collaborative drawing app in minutes with Xano. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to go from “just a database” to powering websockets, authentication, file storage, and live image sharing. We’ll create tables, endpoints, and a real-time channel in Xano, then connect it to a frontend built with a free Cursor agent. Watch as two users draw together on the same canvas, save images, and pull them back from the database—all with just a few button clicks. 👉 Perfect for devs who want to see how Xano handles more than data. 👉 Learn how to set up real-time websockets, authentication, and Swagger-ready endpoints. 👉 See how easy it is to spin up collaborative apps with Cursor + Xano. 🔗 Try it out and start building your own collaborative tools today.
