The host's rights and the co-host are gone: anyone in a session may start a new page, put an image on the page, load a kept page, hide, expand and shrink, and move or remove images and Hides; the page left is kept in every notebook. Fit and Normal scale act on your own screen only. A session goes on without whoever started it, and a newcomer to an empty room starts page 1 with New.

Kokkoja
Kokkoja lets people at different computers write together on a shared page, by hand or by typing, with every page saved automatically to each person's own notebook. It runs in a web browser beside a video call and replaces the call's screen sharing and annotation. It was made first for teaching a foreign language over a video call, and it serves any work that two or more people would otherwise do over one sheet of paper.
Kokkoja is free software under the GNU General Public License, version 3 or later: see LICENSE.md, which also says how the name may be used.
Documentation
The user documentation (an introduction, Kokkoja in five minutes, using Kokkoja, and how Kokkoja works) is being moved to a new format and is not in this repository at the moment. It will return with a later release.
In short
Joining needs nothing but a web browser: open the invitation link, enter
a name, join. Anyone can start a session from the same web site,
https://app.kokkoja.com/, with the notebooks kept in the
browser; everyone in a session has the same buttons.
Whoever wants notebooks as files needs Python 3 and this directory:
python3 kokkoja.py --relay wss://app.kokkoja.com/relay
opens Kokkoja in the browser; Start a session gives an invitation to
send to the others. Notebooks are directories in Kokkoja in the
Documents directory.
