Previous hackernews post indicates that this used to be SVG-rendered. It is currently Canvas-rendered. What made you switch to Canvas?

It seems the drawing itself is still rendered SVG tags it's just they are underneath a canvas element. The canvas seems to draw the UI elements.

I do some digital illustration, so maybe my perception is colored by a workflow that can't be generalized to others, but I am puzzled by it switching back to the arrow tool after drawing a shape. If I just drew a circle, I'm far more likely to draw another circle than select something.

There are competing conventions for this in different kinds of apps. In the end, I went with the design app convention.

If you want it to stick with the same shape, double click the shape in the toolbar!

Congratulations! I've been following your progress on twitter and I'd love to sponsor your work. I'm wondering if there are plans for supporting visual diff?

Thanks! I hadn’t considered that but it would definitely be possible. I’m considering having a “view only” version of the editor, and this could be one of its options.
