This is so satisfying. These types of experiments are something I really love about the open-web, and part of what bums me out about how most social networks tend to throttle links.

The dragging behavior is so intuitive – it's funny because usually if you create this kind of resistance in a UI it can be confusing, but in this context it works so well.

it's actually intuitive because it mimics a real life physical dragging of an object by a rope, which most people have a feel for. Skeuomorphism can be quite intuitive imho.

Try drawing your signature with it and see how intuitive it feels.

Lazy radius: 9

Friction: 0.04

Brush radius: 13

-> clear

-> draw your signature

That'd be an amazing phishing attempt...

You’ve basically turned down the smoothing features
