👽 akkartik

I've been working on a text editor where you can also draw line drawings. Since I put it out I've been getting a trickle of feature requests. Suddenly the need to say no is very real, and I need to make good decisions. I've been using 2 escape hatches:

1. Forks. Somebody proposed an alternative system for drawing polygons that was actually quite self-consistent and had complementary strengths and weaknesses. We don't have to pick one, here's a fork: https://github.com/akkartik/lines-polygon-experiment

2. Add-ons as separate applications. Some people want an exporter to markdown SVG. But most won't. Why complicate the codebase for everyone. Instead: https://merveilles.town/@akkartik/108580451364837131
