#2Wow. Love it. Love the visual history. It feels quite snappy. The UI aesthetics are great. You've got most the pen tool features I used in Illustrator, and managed to do it without having multiple kinds of arrows to keep track of, which always bugged me.

Thank you! Those are all things I focused on so it's a pleasure to hear that.

#6Awesome! I'm really awful at drawing on my computer. Many failed attempts at trying to learn Illustrator, Gimp, etc. What's really cool about a web app of a drawing app is that you could use all the open source product tour JS libraries to create interactive tutorials... So impressive, thank you!

If you failed at using Illustrator or Gimp effectively, then you didn't try hard enough. Follow video tutorials and try to recreate graphics, in time you'll get better.
Ugh, this entire thing is in coffeescript too, now I have to learn coffeescript to make sense of this library.

#10Thank you for doing this. This may seem like an ignorant question but can your app open .ai files?
