Just opened the editor, switched to line mode, and drew a line. It seems to have automatically switched to selection mode, rather than keeping in the mode I deliberately switched to (line mode). That's unexpected, and probably not what most users would expect. Any chance of getting that changed, so the mode only changes when the user does it? --- Also, is it Open Source? :)

"Also, is it Open Source?" No, also: "We reserve the right to modify this Agreement or its terms related to the Services at any time at our discretion." So it is currently free of charge, but may one day contain tracking without warning, or paid membership? The buisness plan (how to make money) is not clear to me. And this would be a major blocker for me to use if for anything serious, when one day I might loose access to my data, unless I pay an unspecified amount. You also cannot export your work to a common vector format, so will be bound by this website forever. If you are looking for something Open Source, there is the wick editor: https://www.wickeditor.com/ https://www.wickeditor.com/ (but developement is on hold)

  Yeah. Not being FOSS is a blocker from my point of view as well. Already been through that exercise with Adobe and the Flash ecosystem. No interest at all in a repeat.

    Yeah, me too. Why, just why didn't Adobe open source (and vastly improve in terms of security) the flash player and rather let it die. It was such an awesome ecosystem.

    Here is a free software animator: https://www.synfig.org/ https://www.synfig.org/ Development is kinda slow, but this also means that it still works just as well as when I made a little short movie 15 years ago.

      Thanks, I never heard of this one, will try it out. One very interesting new one is rive.app Closed app, free for 3 files, but open source renderer and GPU accelerated.
