Played around a bit for a few minutes and threw a few of my usually handwritten SVGs at it with disastrous results. View boxes don't seem to work, dashed lines, symbols, any kind of shape reüse in general; groups are ungrouped automatically, but apparently properties defined on groups are not propagated to child elements when ungrouping. And it manages to lock up Firefox and IE completely.
Not terribly impressed so far, but then again, I'm not a designer or an artist and I manage to write SVGs that fail in various renderers due to implementation deficiencies. But those I tested were not even complex or used advanced features.
At the moment I'd guess this is aimed at the most trivial vector graphics possible, i.e. only basic shapes, stroke and fill. It might work for that, but that's well beyond what I use of SVG or Inkscape usually.
- artursapek 13y agoYou're right, it still chokes on a lot of SVG features. It is in no way spec-complete. All I can say is hopefully people contribute and it works better for everyone. The version I'm sharing is what I've been able to muster by myself in a year between school and work. That said, if you opened issues on Github describing how to lock it up in Firefox and IE, and listing those SVG features that it doesn't render, that would be very helpful. Cheers.
- ygra 13y agoApologies, if that came across too negative. It's just a bit frustrating when you see »Oh, nice, it's based on SVG and compares itself to Illustrator and Inkscape« and try various things you have written in the past years only to notice that none of them work.
- danabramov 13y agoPardon the meta-comment, but “reüse” is just so comically HN.
- ics 13y agoAssuming ygra is German he/she probably just hit the [separate] ü key. That being said, until their follow up above I thought the comment was intended to be a parody of HN negativity.
