Nice try. What type of OSFS license are you using?

You might be shocked (shocked!) at how clean and readable some of the CoffeeScript source is. To pick an example at random: https://github.com/artursapek/mondrian/blob/master/src/geome... Artur really did a nice job with structuring this project...

Vanilla JS is easier for me. I don't have time to learn the workings of coffeescript just to read a library casually.

But obviously you do have enough time to complain about it.

Pixlr is very popular among young crowd. This one pales in comparison in the same category (free). I don't know about open-sourced though.

Ah, sorry. It works in such a non-obvious way, I missed it.

The rotation tool works exactly the way Illustrator's does.

In, it doesn't.

Pixl is definitely cool. I don't think it's a really fair comparison for one thing Pixl is more like Photoshop rather than Illustrator. Pixl is a Flash app which probably makes a difference to some people as well.

Both are really cool online tools though.

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.

Wow, saying that he "lacks tact" is a bit of an understatement.

You don't get the point of this, do you?

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.

Looks fine for me as well

It's unusable on IE but looks interesting none the less.
