- mattbis 1y agoThis is actually handy I was intending to try and make some logos, and I only mouse... EDIT: However, I'm finding even with permissions a lot of these don't work to save to SVG... Hmm I would need to fork it and fix it... maybe Inkscape is really the best option
- m0zzie 1y agoUse tldraw. Steve rolled the perfect freehand library into tldraw and the tldraw implementation has been improved since then IIRC. So you can get the same experience and easily grab an SVG.
- paulgb 1y agoThis is by Steve Ruiz of https://tldraw.com https://tldraw.com, in case anyone noticed the similarity between the two.
- jmrm 1y agoI remember in the mid 2000s how some Xara Designer illustration software was able to do that, I don't know how isn't a more common thing (or maybe I don't know enough specialized software in that matter). I remember well that program because it was available both for Windows and Linux, a really rare thing in that time.
- pregseahorses 1y agoI still refuse to use anything but Xara designer, and have made my children play with it.
- trafnar 1y agoI was using this recently and found some situations where I didn't like the way the lines looked. Reading through the github comments from the author, it sounds like an improved version of this library is maintained within the tldraw codebase.

- solarkraft 1y agoI remember caring about this when it was just a branch. Demonstrating this is possible on the web is pretty cool!
