Developer of Monodraw here. Thank you all for the kind words regarding the app. Unfortunately, my time is extremely limited which is why I haven’t had the chance to push more updates out. I’ve got a few highly requested features in the works but I cannot promise when they’ll see the light of day (I usually get to make progress during my holidays). I’m still committed to fixing any breakages due to OS upgrades and ensuring the product continues to work.

Curious what some of the requested features are since it seems feature complete to me
- milen 3y ago
  The main requests have been for: - Plaintext format (in progress) - Dark mode support for the main canvas (in progress) - Auto/Dynamic Layout - Table support - ANSI export

    > Dark mode support Hell yeah! I'm a long time user of Monodraw (thanks for the awesome work!) and this would be an instant upgrade for me :)

    What does "plaintext format" mean? Isn't it already plaintext?
    - jasonm23 3y ago
      to offer a guess, I assume plantext probably means plain ASCII or maybe extended US ASCII (adds IBM box drawing chars, etc.) As opposed to full unicode text charset.

Thanks for your work in making an excellent tool; I, and many of my coworkers, use this. The price point is entirely fair and it’s a pleasure to use every time. But - above this - thank you also for prioritising personal life above development. It’s great as it is and we’ll be happy to see new features when you’re ready. I would be really proud if I were in your position. Cheers!

Thank you, Milen! It's nice to see Bulgarians being behind a popular desktop app! I've been a paid user for years and Monodraw is among the first apps I install when I get a new MacBook machine!

Thank you so much for Monodraw! I've used it on and off for _years_.

Hi - I'm not a user but I am reacting to obvious love many developers have for your app. Have you thought about open-sourcing it? Or even keeping it closed source but crowd-sourcing help? No need for profit sharing - your income is a nominal management fee if that. Just need a nice credits page to give thanks to the names of the people who contributed. Might work?
