Abstract: A computing device can initiate a hybrid collaborative application to present, on the touch-sensitive display device, a user interface enabling user interaction with (i) a native layer providing a user with a set of interactive tools for a collaborative session, and (ii) a browser application layer underlying the native layer, where the browser application layer comprises a collaborative canvas enabling the user and one or more remote collaborators to participate in the collaborative session. The computing devices can receive user inputs via the user interface on the touch-sensitive display, render native content on the touch-sensitive display based on the user inputs via the native layer, and render web-based content on the collaborative canvas based at least in part on collaboration inputs via the browser application layer for the collaborative session with the one or more remote collaborators.
