Show HN: Sketchology

This looks excellent - as a designer my brain has always worked better with infinite canvases like Illustrator/Sketch.app; I feel really constrained by Photoshop etc. Great stuff.

Looks awesome! And it's free? I will definitely check it out at work when I have an iPad around.

It's free to download and use, though to unlock all the tools (about 50% come standard) there's a one time IAP for $5

Sketch.app is just great, this was probably the first app I instantly bought when the trial ended.

Can you export to SVG, PDF or some other vector format?

So does the tool just abstract pixels or is it using Vectors? If it is vectors, what kinds of tools does it offer for exporting?

Note that I'm not into designing at all but I might suggest this to a friend for their projects

"Sketchology is based on technology called vector drawing. Previously the sole domain of thousand dollar professional tools, algorithmic breakthroughs bring that power to something that’s useful, simple, and beautiful."
