This is pretty neat. A few feature suggestions: 1) Constrain aspect ratio on resize when holding down a control key. 2) I really like the way it guesses that you're trying to draw a circle when your freehand is sufficiently curved. A neat addition to this would be bezier spline interpolation for smooth curves if it's clear that the user isn't drawing a closed loop. 3) Import existing image as shape. 4) Shapes library (for things like ER diagrams, UML, etc...)

Thanks for the feedback! 1) This is planned. Will also snap to grid when moving objects. 2) I want to do this. But as I said in another comment, I just need to figure out the UI for enabling the user to change the curvature of the line. 3) You're now the fourth person that asked for this :). It's definitely on my to-do list now. 4) I'm hoping the community will produce this. Anyone can do "Share -> Make Public" and then the drawings will show up in the Public Library. You can then copy anyone else's drawing into your own personal library. (I do plan to add better functionality for searching/tagging items in the public library eventually. It just didn't matter yet coz no one has anything there so far.)

  it would be very cool to have real time sharing -- or a few seconds behind -- so that it could be used during a phone call for collaborative brainstorming...

    Thanks. It does have this, the "few seconds behind" version :), though you have to click a button (Share -> Refresh) to refresh the drawing. Try using the "Share" functionality with a friend after signing up.

      I really really want to be able to use this without signing up. I just need a link to give a friend so they can spontaneously collaborate with me. The diagram doesn't need to persist past that session, so long as we can both save a png. The spontaneity and ease of use is a killer feature for me.
