From SocialCalc to EtherCalc

Previously, in The Architecture of Open Source Applications, I described SocialCalc, an in-browser spreadsheet system that replaced the server-centric WikiCalc architecture. SocialCalc performs all of its computations in the browser; it uses the server only for loading and saving spreadsheets.

For the Socialtext team, performance was the primary goal behind SocialCalc's design in 2006. The key observation was this: Client-side computation in JavaScript, while an order of magnitude slower than server-side computation in Perl, was still much faster than the network latency incurred during AJAX roundtrips:

Description

This simple script will take a picture of a whiteboard and use parts of the ImageMagick library with sane defaults to clean it up tremendously.

The script is here:

#!/bin/bash
convert "$1" -morphology Convolve DoG:15,100,0 -negate -normalize -blur 0x1 -channel RBG -level 60%,91%,0.1 "$2"
