  • Gave it a quick try. The fact that it’s fully local and installable as a PWA is appealing. Performance felt solid in a short test.

  • This looks really promising. Very snappy.

    I might be missing it but there doesn't seem to be the equivalent of Illustrator's direct selection tool, for moving individual anchor points? There's the anchor point tool for adjusting the curve of an anchor point, but I can't move the anchor points themselves. I expected to find it under the pen tool menu.

  • - i have some big questions if you dont mind answering

    - first of all top tier work there, lets say i want to build something like this from scratch, what does the first few steps and requirements look like

    - mind ya, i have no plans of making anything competing. i dont even use photoshop. what I am curious about is how to make a large software project like this

    - what do your requirements on day 0 look like? do you try to open every feature in photoshop and note it down on paper?

  • Cool project! Although photopea+inkscape covers any of my free editing needs, it's always good to see anogher capable app that could be developed into something bigger

  • Spectacular!

    Just checking help/about Scissors shows how detail oriented you are. As the saying goes, you paint the wall at the back of the dishwasher so the plumber knows you have good taste

  • Amazing work, well done!

    I found a weird bug when using the glyph tool on Hebrew text. Where can I file an issue?

    Also, are you planning to open the source?

  • How can I access this forever without fears of it going away? I hate changing things like workflows or interfaces really. How can I keep a copy locally to run it such that it no longer requires access to the web or freeze the current working version?

  • Tip: you are blocking text selection for the terms of use and in a number of other spots. People often use text selection to copy and paste words for a variety of reasons. Some people select blocks of text to help mark what they are reading, and some people use it to paste the words in a dictionary or translation service of their choice. (Or when making a bug report to copy the version number from the about screen.)

    Don't block text selection for prose, only for UI elements.
