This is wonderful. I hope you are able to make this a full product.
Suggestion: - import SVGs? - create custom shapes and groups and add them to a "library" so you can reuse them across projects?

Trangram indeed supports basic SVG import as well as importing Trangram files (tg). To import, simply navigate to the "Import" option under the main menu (Trangram logo) in the editor.
Regarding reusing shapes or groups, you can export them as tg files and import them into your new project. This feature allows for seamless reuse across projects. I hope this clarifies things for you!

In addition to exporting/importing tg files, logged-in users can easily reuse their existing designs by directly importing them from "My Designs".

#254Disappointed 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.
It is already widely supported by all the major browsers except Chromium that powers Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. And the lame excuse they give for that is "Chromium has actually decided to discontinue JPEG XL support, citing a lack of interest in the format." So if you wait for Google (and Microsoft) to support JPEG-XL, you will be stuck in a kind of "chicken and egg" paradox, where you wait for Chromium to support JPEG-XL and Google waits for developers like you to implement it in your apps.

#255hey hey!!
the tool is really cool.
What tech stack did you used to develop this?? I also see you have disabled inspect chrome tab, why that so?

#256Looks great and works well. Some small suggestions: - Please add some keyboard shortcuts for common actions, i.e., cmd/ctrl + z to undo (+ shift to redo), delete/backspace to delete, cmd/ctrl + d to duplicate, cmd/ctrl + a to select all. - Increase rotate cursor affordance - it's currently relatively tiny.
You mean something like a cheat sheet to show all the shortcut keys?
A cheat sheet would be useful too! But I mean shortcuts for frequently used actions like copy/paste and delete.
