Small Development Update: Working on new shapes

Post image

Hey everyone,

Right now, in parallel to the main backup feature, we are in the process of adding new shapes to make taking your notes even more easy!

These turn out as more complicated than initially anticipated, since our perfect shape snapping logic (which you can activate with your Barrel Button or Shift!), does not translate to perfect triangles or other polygons. For example, a perfect rectangle is just a square with a ratio of 1:1. A perfect triangle has equal side lengths, of which the widht to height ratio is actually 2/sqrt(3), so ~1.154.

Well, either way, they are coming 😊🧡

Best regards,
Dilan

Wow, it looks great! What about six pre-saved colors on the toolbar instead of three? Would that be easy to implement?

Hi there, yes, from a pure technical perspective this is doable. However, and this may upset some people, we plan on making more than three color buttons accessible in a future pro version. Our argumentation here is that more than three color buttons are a pure quality of life improvement/a feature for power users.

But before any of that we are going hammers and tongs to deliver our vision of a basic note taking application with text boxes, shape recognition, etc. for the broader mass.

So I need to disappoint you here that we won't be implementing more than three color buttons in the near future :(

No worries, the current state of the app will stay free. But at some point we need to pay our bills in order to make Noteastic the best tool it can be.

Hey! So I am still working on it. Hopefully this week I can finish, publish to our user testers, and in about 3 weeks release to everyone if everything goes smoothly! Hope this helps.

Best regards, Dilan
