This looks awesome! Impressive work! You mentioned you and your co-founder. Did the two of you build the entire product? Curious how long it took the two of you.

We actually have 3 co-founders. Radek built aggie.io - it's been online for a few years. He initially built it to draw with his friends from South America. ;) First-hand need for art collaboration hehe. Wojtek and I were in the meantime building code2flow.com, collaboration solution for diagrams. Also took us a few years. 2 years ago we decided to join forces and built an ultimate art collaboration solution with the…

> Today we're hiring some more people and it's a team effort!

Have y'all raised capital?

This is really impressive!

Took us a few months but we're now wrapping up last investor for our Seed/SAFE round.

Nice! If there's any aspects of growth in the games industry, it's definitely in making the artist's workflow more collaborative and efficient (of course, game infrastructure is also growing a lot too but it seems like AWS/Azure/Unity are on top of that).

Had some fun on the 9 one, and the experience almost feel like native software, quite impressive! I can't say much more as I'm on Linux, so pressure sensitivity does not work. Is it somewhere on a roadmap?

We have an experimental WebHID support for some Wacom tablets. Can you let me know your username? I can enable WebHID for you and will leave you some instructions on how to try it out.

I clicked on the first one and it says "kill cops" and "hehe nice". This is why we can't have nice things.

Just paint over it

If that stopped people they could just fill the entire canvas and deny people from drawing. You can change your layer priority (which is global.)

Sorry, forgot to clarify. WebHID is a way to get pressure sensitivity on Linux. It was tested on Wacom One and Intuos Pro. But may work on more tablets.
