- WillAdams 1y agoFor Mac OS System 7 and apparently the context is the Mac OS on iPad Pro from the discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44942954 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44942954 as much as I love to run Macromedia Freehand MX, I'd be hard put to choose running it in an emulator rather than a native application such as Serif's Affinity Designer https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/designer/ipad/ https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/designer/ipad/ which is apparently quite nice w/ an Apple Pencil. That said, I'd be interested in a similar overview of contemporary vector drawing programs for Mac OS X and the iPad, since Windows 11 has me wanting an alternative to my Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360 and Wacom EMR stylus and toggling the Windows Setting which allows me to run Freehand....
- scelerat 1y agoJust seeing those names brought back a lot of memories. I was especially fond of Superpaint and Deneba Canvas. But I also got a lot done with MacDraw Pro, which I think at the time was considered limited. Still love OmniGraffle which itself is getting long in the tooth but still has one of the nicest diagram layout engines I’ve used
- kalleboo 1y agoMy favorite Mac drawing program back in the day was MicroFrontier's "Color It!" https://www.macintoshrepository.org/110-color-it-3-x https://www.macintoshrepository.org/110-color-it-3-x
