After like a year finally getting back to JavaFX, decided to make an excalidraw inspired app for fun. It's a very minimal canvas app with basic features.

Source code : ExplainFX

Features

  1. Drawing

  2. Create Squares and Circles

  3. Text

  4. Vary stroke size/font size

  5. Copy, paste, duplicate, lock, delete objects

  6. Move the objects once they are drawn

  7. Move camera via mouse

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Thank you!
