Padlet is an Internet application that allows people to express their thoughts on a common topic easily. It works like an online sheet of paper where people can put any content (e.g. images, videos, documents, text) anywhere on the page, together with anyone, from any device. Think of it like a multimedia friendly, free-form, real-time wiki.

We are easily bored. It's the one thing that unites humanity in 2020. No one wants to read twenty paragraphs of text, or sit through forty verbose slides. Yet, we keep making them, boring everyone out of their minds.
We are building more beautiful and fun alternatives to traditional documents. They're less of a pain-in-the-ass to create, and a lot less waterboard-y to view.

Tech Stack
The overarching philosophy that drives our product is — how do we provide the equivalent of HTML, Javascript, and CSS to a non-tech-savvy Internet user so they may create whatever they want.
It's a difficult problem.
Tech stack
Our tech stack is pretty standard: code copy-pasted from Stack Overflow.
