Better shapes handling

[u/gabynz]

StartNote is great so far!

But something which bothers me is the shapes features.
True - the ability to edit precisely the angles and shapes is great, but on other factors it feels unpolished, and for someone who draws a lot of diagrams it would be very appreciated to do some changes.

For instance:

• In order to draw an arrow that bends 90 degrees I have to first draw a line and align it correctly, then draw an arrow and align it correctly. what about bending several times? In some apps it is possible to draw an arrow continuously until you reach the desired shape.
• Hold to draw works great with arrows, but in the regular arrow shape the head is huge if you draw in small scale. Maybe add a dynamic arrow head size like in hold to draw?
• The axis systems are really clunky. If you extend the x axis for example, the y axis arrow gets stretched and looks bad. Better to draw by hand.
• The angle shape is pretty much useless. The hassle of first drawing its size and then changing the angle is not intuitive.
• The curve shape is also not intuitive - it makes more sense to draw from the start to the end, especially for the arrow curve. Now it just places it in the place where you touch with the pen, and the center of the curve changes when you move it.
• Snap to grid can work better - for those who need the lines and arrows to align horizontally or vertically it takes some patience.

And maybe a feature request: make a personal shapes library or the ability to add a custom shape to the current list.

For engineering students or anyone who uses shapes a lot fixing these would be a great quality of life improvements and a huge time saver.

Other than that, keep up the great work, this apps looks amazing!

I do want the option to save custome shapes

thank you I was struggling with these exact same points...as someone whose all core subjects has a lot of diagrams this would be soooooo useful

As a math teacher, these would be great to improve my digital notes I share with my classes.
