Sounds a bit like the awesome Geometer’s Sketchpad?

Is there a demo available? I'd really prefer to test this out before committing to roughly $30.

And why is the docs page on Github when the source apparently is not? Are you hoping the users will write the documentation?

Or even Geogebra?

I don't know Geometer's Sketchpad but I see my software as a drawing software with geometry features and not as an educational geometry software.

I have always been frustrated with vector drawing software because shapes are not linked together (except for grouping) and this make complex drawing very hard to modify. This is an attempt to solve this.

I originally wanted to add some generative capabilities like contextfree (https://www.contextfreeart.org/) but I have not gone in this direction at the moment. The more "generative"-like feature is currently path effects (https://www.ludigraphix.org/path-effects).

I have made a demo version (without save/exports) but binaries are not signed :

Yes, I see it like a crossover between Geogebra and Inkscape.
