Dude that's awesome. Congrats! I like its simplicity and minimal interface, with no shenanigans. Just a plain ol' drawing app that lets you share. Great stuff :)

#12Hi, all. OP / owner / founder here. I’m finally launching a product that’s taken me years longer than I’d anticipated to complete. It’s a much bigger project than anything I’ve done before. My first app was the first battery indicator on Android, back in 2009, which was very successful by my standards (I didn’t have a college degree at the time and made way more money from it than I’d ever made from a job.)

Note: if you draw, hit Share, then back out, it wiped my contents without a prompt.
Or am I picking up on confusion about my general model (which I'm certainly open to feedback about). If you draw and don't share, but press back or try to leave the page, you're prompted about destructively leaving. Sharing creates the doodle and makes a link for you to share (or bookmark, or whatever you like), so the contents aren't considered wiped at that point; they're considered successfully sent.
Please let me know if I'm failing to understand what isn't working as you expect, of if you think my model is confusing to new users. Thanks!

#14This is awesome. Fun and easy to pick up. Swapped-a-doodle with my technologically inept mom without a cinch. I was surprised how quickly she responded :)

I think 9× is the best speed to watch it at. (I'm still thinking of adding a way for the author of a Doodle to change its default speed.)
