#4The actual drawing experience is really satisfying. A couple usability tweaks I did just fiddling in the DOM:
- Put the output and inputs side by side
- Put the "actions", export, clear, etc. pinned to the bottom
- The overall goal being zero scrolling
After that it was quite fun and I enjoyed the options you gave for things like brush size, metallics, gradients, etc. Nice!

#5fwiw Krita has a similar setting in its brush tool - you draw a stroke and said brush stroke is mirrored by a given x axis or a given y axis (or both)

And learned a bit about group theory in the process... :-/

#7Cool!
I made a similar thing for my kids (they wanted something similar to the kaleidoscopic drawing you can do in some ‘Monument Valley’ levels

#8When I scroll down to select a different color for my next stroke, the canvas often resets.
Edit: or rather undoes the last stroke (which looks like resetting when it goes from 1 to 0).

#10"Mirror" mode was my favorite feature on the Koala Pad app back in the 1980s.
