Show HN: Askaboard – A canvas your AI agent can draw on

Developer Nordup released Askaboard, a free, open-source shared canvas app for Mac (Apple silicon and Intel) that lets users connect Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor over MCP using an existing subscription so the AI agent can draw, write and make shapes on the board. The app is distributed as a direct .dmg download from GitHub and is positioned for learning tasks such as checking work and explaining problems step by step.
