#12I'm a little jealous : 60Mo software for drawing 1 curve get 35 votes in 2 hours when my "show HN" get 2 upvotes in one day for a full drawing software.
Wow, don't be so dismissive out of spite. You even hijacked an unrelated comment for your slander.
People don't upvote "60Mo software for drawing 1 curve", they upvote a "simple tool to design spline curves".

#13Looks great, but why is it not a web site? Why electron?
Actually you can just download it, stick the “public/” directory in a web server (or load it in your browser) and have it working without Electron, which I just did as a quick test:
https://sentido-labs.com/tmp/Curve-Studio/
Even save/load with “Export JSON” and “Import JSON” seems to work!
@antixk: since it works as a website anyway, I’d recommend doing that yourself because it’s much easier to give it a quick look this way.

I'd try your software if you made a Linux release.

#15Earlier quoted context omitted.
Perhaps you should post again? I would expect upvote behaviour to be quite arbitrary sometimes.
I will maybe do it in 6 months or one year. I don't want to spam HN.
I think the right algorithm for something you put a lot of effort in (like I did for Shadergif):
1. Post on HN.
2. If upvotes 3. Iterate on your product or work on a new one, but don't post a similar thing again for 6 months.

#17Well done for releasing something and hitting the top of HN. It looks like a clean UI, but I'm confused what we're seeing. 1. What is W for each point and how is it set? I assume something like 'weight', rather than a third dimension, but neither Bezier nor Catmull-Rom curves have an additional per-vertex parameter [0]. And NURBS are a ratio of two B-splines, but you still have only X, Y & W [1]. 2. In the demo, each…
Here's an explanation of the weights used in NURBS:
