Some other infinite canvases can struggle due to floating point precision problems. You can't zoom in past a certain point if you are far from the center of the canvas or else lines will be stuck to a grid. This project fixes that by storing everything in a quad tree meaning the only limit is device storage. It also avoids rendering outside of view thereby making it practial to store almost arbitrary amounts in it.

The project can currently best be described as pre-alpha (see alpha-todo.txt). It is therefore missing even basic features and has significant bugs.

• Allow infinite zooming in and out on any part of the canvas without quality decrease
• Cross Platform
  • Windows
  • MacOS
  • Linux
  • Web
  • Ios
  • Android
• Performant
  • Every operation should be limited by, at maximum, visible detail
• Be a good resource for organizing arbitrary detail
  • High quality pen support
  • Layers
  • Basic Editing Tools
    • Draw
    • Erase
    • Select
    • Translate
    • Rotate
    • Scale
  • Display
    • Basic stroke
    • Basic shapes
    • Images

• Support for multiple users
• Be a great tool for creating art

Make sure you are using the latest version of stable rust by running rustup update.

cargo run --release

On Linux you need to first run:

sudo apt-get install libxcb-render0-dev libxcb-shape0-dev libxcb-xfixes0-dev libxkbcommon-dev libssl-dev

On Fedora Rawhide you need to run:

dnf install clang clang-devel clang-tools-extra libxkbcommon-devel pkg-config openssl-devel libxcb-devel gtk3-devel atk fontconfig-devel

You can compile your app to WASM and publish it as a web page.

We use Trunk to build for web target.

1. Install the required target with rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown.
2. Install Trunk with cargo install --locked trunk.
3. Run trunk serve to build and serve on http://127.0.0.1:8080. Trunk will rebuild automatically if you edit the project.
4. Open http://127.0.0.1:8080/index.html#dev in a browser. See the warning below.

assets/sw.js script will try to cache our app, and loads the cached version when it cannot connect to server allowing your app to work offline (like PWA). appending #dev to index.html will skip this caching, allowing us to load the latest builds during development.

1. Just run trunk build --release.
2. It will generate a dist directory as a "static html" website
3. Upload the dist directory to any of the numerous free hosting websites including GitHub Pages.
4. we already provide a workflow that auto-deploys our app to GitHub pages if you enable it.

To enable Github Pages, you need to go to Repository -> Settings -> Pages -> Source -> set to gh-pages branch and / (root).

If gh-pages is not available in Source, just create and push a branch called gh-pages and it should be available.

If you renamed the main branch to something else (say you re-initialized the repository with master as the initial branch), be sure to edit the github workflows .github/workflows/pages.yml file to reflect the change
