This was so much fun to do! Hoping to do doodles for past years too.

What do you use to create the doodles? As in, do you use an iPad app or something with stylus support? And what's going on with respect to publishing online?

  Doodles were created with the Paper iPad app using the Pencil stylus, both by 53. (fiftythree.com) Turn.js JavaScript library (turnjs.com) for the book page flip effect. :) I believe the Paper app is free now, and you can technically create doodles without the Pencil stylus. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/paper-by-fiftythree/id506003812 https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/paper-by-fiftythree/id506003...

    Based on how good the notes looked, I feel like this can be used to create infographics easier and nicer than Photoshop. I am going to give it a try.

    I looked into turn.js and the licensing is beyond my understanding: The turn.js project is released under the BSD license and it's available on GitHub. This license doesn't include features of the 4th release. The part about 4th release seemingly links to a pdf but redirects to the same page. Going to github I find the following: https://github.com/blasten/turn.js/blob/master/license.txt https://github.com/blasten/turn.js/blob/master/license.txt """ turn.js 3rd release www.turnjs.com Copyright (c) 2012, Emmanuel Garcia All rights reserved.

      Proprietary JavaScript libraries seems like a pretty common business model these days. What happened to the old GPL with selling exceptions model?

        My point was I think he/she/they misuse the term "BSD license". As far as I know the "BSD License" is a pretty well defined thing, and not this thing. (I might be wrong, therefore the question in my first post; -I try to be careful.) Furthermore it seems they don't reply to tickets or mails about selling an exception. It's kind of like a candy store right outside school carrying a big "Teachers only!" sign : )

      No comment on the license itself, but I did have to pay to use it.

        Thanks for the update - I guess that means one can still get a commercial license, you just have to know where to ask.

        As "GoldenCrow" states at the github issue from your link, it appears one can obtain a license at http://www.turnjs.com/get http://www.turnjs.com/get (Wherever this link comes from, anyway. It seems it isn't on the main page itself, which is weird.) This whole licensing mess and misunderstanding is preventing me from using this library now, which is sad, because it seems it's actually pretty good at doing its job.
