Wow, this is nice! Is there a hotkey to toggle the eraser?
Sadly not, but should not be difficult to implement :)

#22Reminds me of dotgrid from 100rabbits http://100r.co/site/dotgrid.html

#23Make it so you're presented a canvas right away and an option to give it a title and resize later. Excalidraw does this very well.

#24Is it just me or does it not work on iPhone? I try touching and dragging and long pressing but none worked :(

#25Brilliant! Just, amazing. Well done.

#26This is excellent.
Another commenter pointed it out, but it rang true for me; it is difficult to make an ugly drawing in this style. Very nice.

#27What a delightful tool. I can imagine having a lot of fun creating logos and icons with this.
Re: Show HN: Minimator, a Minimalist Graphical Editor
#28This was very helpful. But I didn't understand the rules, so I thought it was broken when it kept showing me the same word.
I eventually figured it out by accidentally clicking the question mark (I am an avid interface clicker) and read the instructions...

#29Congratulations on having a dependency free project [0]. (just typescript)
We got so used to read code using frameworks that pure JavaScript seems other world.

#30Loved the concept, makes drawing sooo easy even with a trackpad. Some tips :- 1. When holding down shift allow straight lines only and no curves. It's the norm in design softwares 2. When I drag to create the line, the drop point if off and not accurate to the nearest dot of my mouse position. I'm unsure if it's a bug or have you deliberately built a non-accurate system.
Thanks for your kind words. About the trackpad I didn't manage to implement the pitch to zoom which is desperately missing. 1. That's a good point, I didn't implement this shortcut. In my head, I assumed it wouldn't be useful because the editor only let you do vertical lines, horizontal lines and circle quarter. So making a straight line is pretty easy. If it was pure freeform like on Illustrator, it would be vital.…
Just in case you or anyone doesn’t know, pinch to zoom on touchpads is exposed as just scrolling with the control key held down. You can listen for it with the wheel event and look at the ctrlKey and deltaY properties.
