Maybe someone here can help me remember. I had a PalmOS app that I loved, back in the day, and I can't remember what it was called. It was a shareware clock app, with hand-drawn time that animated from one numeral to the next. I used to use it as an alarm clock, in my Sony Clie dock, by my bed. Would love to see it again.

handy is LGPLv3, but rough.js is MIT. This line makes me think parts of rough.js are actually LGPLv3, as those parts are derivative works.
In practice this is unlikely to negatively impact me but I'm not super pleased by the uncertainty.

#24Reminds me of Balsamiq, which was the rage about 10 years ago.
I still find Balsamiq super useful.

Yes, was about to say the same, then saw your comment.
IIRC, Peldi, Balsamiq founder, had blogged about it at the time. I like it too. Also reminds me vaguely of the Comic Sans font, which was the rage even earlier.

#26Well we used to use "sketchy" looking mockups so that users would understand that this wasn't a finished, working interface. I guess that's out the window now.
thats the entire point of this. to generate mockup software

Algorithms can't be copyrighted (though code can be), so this really depends on what level of copying is implied by the word "adapted".

#28Firefox's "Enhanced Tracking Protection" seems to break their React demo.
Turning that off though and things seem to load ok, even with UBlock Origin and Privacy Badger running.

ChatGPT thinks it was called 'TimeDraw' :)
