History
Before IconDoodle was an iOS app called FatBits, released in 2012. At the time, FatBits used UDP hole-punching to share icons in real time from behind a firewall. Now IconDoodle is reborn on the web and uses WebSockets to accomplish the same task.
Inspiration
IconDoodle and FatBits were inspired by Tiny Icon Factory by Luis Blackaller and Brent Fitzgerald, a website they launched in 2006. Another inspiration is the FatBits mode in MacPaint by Bill Atkinson.
