what an awesome. I made it in 5 seconds and published it, then it was embarrassed to be listed on the top page. Let's publish it unlisted! user/dai

Hi dai! It's great that you were able to create and publish your work so quickly. If you feel more comfortable keeping it unlisted, that's absolutely fine. The most important thing is that you're happy with your creation. If you ever decide to share it publicly in the future, you can always do so later on.

need a free drawing tool instead of pen/line

That's something we could explore down the line. Before integrating it, we'd need to assess how it aligns with Trangram's current animation workflow. We aim to maintain a streamlined process and avoid encouraging methods akin to making a flipbook.

This is super cool and was very easy to get going. Missing keyboard shortcuts is pretty annoying and would make this even simpler. I hopped in hoping it was like a Google Drawing, which it's pretty close, but the lack of keyboard shortcuts for copying/pasting, selecting all, etc -- makes it hard to move fast.

The Trangram editor offers keyboard shortcuts for many basic operations such as copy, paste, select all, zoom in/out, and more. However, at present, keyboard shortcuts for activating specific shape tools are not available. This decision stems from the challenge of finding a key combination that strikes a balance between being widely recognized and easy to remember. You know there're only 26 letters and it's easy to get conflict and confused with others.

This is a ridiculously complex application dude. I’m sure they’ll get to keyboard shortcuts when they get to it

Thanks! Appreciate your understanding.

Disappointed that this is a web application. But great work. The user interface is very intuitive and easy to use. Feature request : Add 'Export to JPEG-XL' option (JPEGXL - https://jpegxl.info/why-jxl.html . See also - FFmpeg Adds Support for Animated JPEG-XL - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36243889 ).

Thanks for your feedback. We'll definitely keep that in mind as JPEG-XL becomes more widely supported across modern browsers.
