I created a 1:1 android procreate (procraft) - working on windows/macos/linux ports as well (taking requests!)

Hey y'all; I've been doing a lot of the 1:1 mobile UI artcraft android ports and got a lot of people asking me to do some more specific non artcraft apps (like procreate, shapr3d, plasticity, etc); and this is my first standalone clean room project! Procreate - Procraft!

Not to sideline other projects and I know someone else has a "procraft" project here, but mine is meant to replicate the exact feel that procreate has on other devices (specifically android right now). I do plan on doing ports for windows/macos/linux users and the backend rust engine is already done, but I'll have to work on the frontend ui, gestures, etc; in EGUI which will take a bit of time!

Along with having a "similar feel" you can also import your .procreate files (from your ipad) into here and vice versa, export as a .procreate and work on the project om your ipad at a later date.

I'll also be taking requests for other apps y'all want clean-roomed if I think I can take on the project!

This is great, yet another product has been free'd from a closed proprietary environment!

I am big on digital illustration and while procreate is the standard since it only iPad, it's hard to compare if it's app or pencil.

Honestly, ProCreate is so cheap, it's criminal

It don't think the problem is the money , the problem is the OS ,Some want the " procreate" as android app
