Thank you for doing this. This may seem like an ignorant question but can your app open .ai files?

Not yet.

AI, like PSD, is proprietary and unfriendly to developers because Adobe's software is really complex (and they don't want to share the market). I want to write a small backend that uses one of several AI->SVG converters out there so people can use AI files in Mondrian. Unfortunately I haven't had time yet.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

are you actually making money off that? check my profile for a link to an open source project of mine that has similar functionality with a lot more content management features.

A little

Cool. Looks like every class room needs it.

Do users draw or write using figure or e-pen?

Played around a bit for a few minutes and threw a few of my usually handwritten SVGs at it with disastrous results. View boxes don't seem to work, dashed lines, symbols, any kind of shape reüse in general; groups are ungrouped automatically, but apparently properties defined on groups are not propagated to child elements when ungrouping. And it manages to lock up Firefox and IE completely. Not terribly impressed so f…

Pardon the meta-comment, but “reüse” is just so comically HN.

Assuming ygra is German he/she probably just hit the [separate] ü key. That being said, until their follow up above I thought the comment was intended to be a parody of HN negativity.

Artur, the linked page is almost unreadable here (Chrome OSX): http://cl.ly/image/0F212f3X2h07 The Maven Pro font appears to be infinitely thin at weight 300, it only starts being readable at 120px+. It doesn't have a version for that weight, so the browser is [failing at] simulating that.

Same here.

Didn't work at all for the MediaCrush logo. https://mediacru.sh/static/mediacrush_logo.svg

Is this negativity really necessary? If you're going to leave a comment about something not working at least say what went wrong and what could fix the issues you had. I'm sick of comments like this constantly polluting HN's community with negativity.

Don't bother. Parent commenter is your stereotypical programmer. Just take a look at: https://github.com/Imdsm/AutoGfy/issues/5

Some people just lack tact.
