Future features

Grouping

Group is added as a kind of shape but until now, there are no features that are applying Group except for rendering. Besides, the shape tool does not work with groups or multiple selected shapes. This project aims to make the tool able to work with Group and also add a Shape tree on the left of the tool.

Paint tool

Currently, Mono Sketch provides only three tools: Rectangle, Text, and Line. One tool that is also used frequently when drawing with ASCII is paint - draw with a specific character. This project also aims to provide richer options of Fill, Border, Line Start/End head

Sharing

Allow opening files from a url, share to gist, etc.

Contributing

This project is fully written with KotlinJS and SASS for CSS. There is no environment setup required except for Java.

To run debug:

./gradlew browserDevelopmentRun --continuous -Dorg.gradle.parallel=false

Or with production configuration

./gradlew browserProductionRun --continuous -Dorg.gradle.parallel=false

-Dorg.gradle.parallel=false is a workaround for a bug on KotlinJS build with --continuous.

Run with Python

This is an alternative to browserDevelopmentRun for running the app for development (sometimes, the Gradle does not reload when the code is updated).

Requirements: Pipenv.

pipenv install
pipenv run dev
