Was a bit confused as I loaded it & just got an error: "A mutation operation was attempted on a database that did not allow mutations."

Looks like it just might not work on Firefox?

Thanks for notifying about the issue. Yes, I see from the logs that a number of users are affected by this. Working on the fix

Neat. Easy to use, good looking results.

Found an issue: when selection is first rotated and then scaled on single axis (squished), the pen strokes will change their relative orientation.

Nice app. What is the business model?

The app is free to use. Future plans depend on user engagement and interest. Will see.

It works really well, but there's a bug: the exported JPG is different from the actual drawing. Draw a circle, put some text in it, export to JPG. Pay close attention to the alignment, it will differ.
