I actually don't like the rewind interface. It is an innovative way to use circular gestures, but it was frustrating to use. I'd rather have a circular context menu.
I do like the moleskin feel to it and the graphics. Good work!

Re: Paper
#42Just downloaded it and gave it a spin with my Bamboo stylus. Here are my impressions, FWIW: * First impression: Nice tutorial, nice animations when picking a notebook. Great idea to do your app planning sketches as its own notebook. * First impression while writing: Nice inky strokes, I like the colors. * Second impression: Hmmm...this seems a bit laggy compared to Noteshelf or Penultimate. Yup, definitely laggier (I…
How does this compare to say, procreate or sketchbook pro?
Re: Paper
#43How come the "nice designed" web sites is always the same, with the same font, large images, and soooo long to scroll. It's like a statement saying "we mind about design, we just don't have any creativity."
Re: Paper
#44I couldn't tell at first if this was an app or just a sarcastic advertisement for actual paper as an alternative to tablets. Maybe that doesn't say much for my powers of observation, but it's also a testament to the product. At first glance, a white iPad running this app is not unlike a pad of drawing paper. Good job.
I still can't tell what the heck the product actually is. Is it a new tablet? A remanufactured iPad? Some sort of stylus. Some sort of app? Something offered by Tumblr?
Re: Paper
#45Great design, poor execution.
Like most things Microsoft, Paper is too little way too late. Penultimate and Sketchbook Pro are superior, and have been around for a long while now. Paper brings absolutely nothing new to the table. Easily forgotten.

#46I really want to love this. iPad hardware just doesn't deliver. The problem isn't that nice drawing software like this doesn't exist, it's that styli on iPad still suck . The capacitive screen (even on "new" iPad) only has about a 6mm capacitive resolution, so you're stuck fudging the fck along with a sausage for a stylus. Ars had a good review[1] on the current state of styli, and they said much the same. I've perso…
I agree completely, but there's something very important that Apple has to to – not bundle a stylus. That's right: they should build Wacom technology into the tablet without including a pen or a place to hold it.
Why? For the same reason that Macs still come defaulted to "one button" mode – to restrain software developers. You see, application developers for Mac can count on a significant percent of their user base being completely without an alternate click, so they are forced to expose functionality as buttons instead of stuffing it all in the context menu.
If Apple bundled a stylus with the iPad tomorrow, thousands of developers would add support for it for "gee whiz" reasons. If the user has to purchase one separately, it won't be used gratuitously. Instead, only the professional apps (which actually benefit from a stylus) would use them.

#47This is the kind of thing that makes me want to learn to draw.

It's a drawing app for iPad.

There is kind of interesting project out there: http://www.kickstarter.com/profile/ipen They seem to use totally different approach - an external motion detector, proximity sensors which gives this tool much better precision. It's this kind of technology as used in kindle touch. Although it's still early for them, idea behind this is quite interesting.
These pens use ultrasound triangulation. I have tried the earlier paper versions of them and they are eerily accurate. I was just thinking someone should use a pen like this for the ipad and it seems that someone already has.

Yeah, I thought it was competition for http://73primenumbers.com/ at first.
