Nice, this will be helpful for these times when I need to import an svg from the material spec. I am still waiting for the graphical tool that will allow me to animate an svg (creates 2 different but compatible paths) though.

Adobe Animate CC (previously Flash CS) plus: https://github.com/TomByrne/Flash2Svg will create SVG animations.

Am I the only one who almost threw up in my mouth when he dropped that icon and got a wall of text? SVG, le sigh...

Yup, its just you. That XML is one of the key advantages of SVG over other formats such as PNG for certain applications.

Could someone edit the title to match the title of the website? The submission sounds like this is an online service, the website title makes it clear that this is a GUI app for macOS only. I'm on Linux and all the designers I work with use Windows. I know this isn't the norm for most people on HN but the title is still misleading and the submission guidelines would seem to agree.

Yup, looks like a moderator fixed that one a while ago. Submitted title was 'Svgsus – Let's make svgs great again'. Not sure if that implied an online service but it was too baity for an HN title.

Thanks,

I will try that ! I had a look at pretty much all the svg tools I could find and was very surprised that the best option is to write the paths yourself in a text editor -_-

Yeah except the fixed title doesn't resemble the website title which (at the time of this writing and when I commented) is:

"Svgsus - Easier SVG handling for Mac"

This clearly defines this as macOS software even if it doesn't elaborate on "handling" like the current submission title does.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

App Store only too. God I hate the way the Mac app store wants my password even for free apps. I've got to switch to my browser, enter my nice long lastpass and copy and paste it into the app. I've never got the non-browser lastpass working.

Have you tried changing the free downloads password setting? See http://lifehacker.com/allow-free-downloads-from-the-mac-app-...

It's set and I just tried to download a free app - and it asked for my password.

It was only yesterday that I entered my password for another free app so it's not just a '30 day expiry' thing.
