Show HN: Free alternative to graphics design giants

Spectacular!

Just checking help/about Scissors shows how detail oriented you are. As the saying goes, you paint the wall at the back of the dishwasher so the plumber knows you have good taste

Tip: you are blocking text selection for the terms of use and in a number of other spots. People often use text selection to copy and paste words for a variety of reasons. Some people select blocks of text to help mark what they are reading, and some people use it to paste the words in a dictionary or translation service of their choice. (Or when making a bug report to copy the version number from the about screen.)

Don't block text selection for prose, only for UI elements.

How can I access this forever without fears of it going away? I hate changing things like workflows or interfaces really. How can I keep a copy locally to run it such that it no longer requires access to the web or freeze the current working version?

Amazing work, well done!

I found a weird bug when using the glyph tool on Hebrew text. Where can I file an issue?

Also, are you planning to open the source?

Reminds me of https://photopea.com/

Hey People,

In case you find some gaps or find out a bug, I really do appriciate if you report it here: - https://github.com/samalstudios/scissor-community/issues/new...

Excellent work, love the micro-UI decisions here. Tired of paying for subscriptions to Adobe I built a similar tool called Pixel for myself and shared it with the community for free among other design apps: https://croma.io

This looks really promising. Very snappy.

I might be missing it but there doesn't seem to be the equivalent of Illustrator's direct selection tool, for moving individual anchor points? There's the anchor point tool for adjusting the curve of an anchor point, but I can't move the anchor points themselves. I expected to find it under the pen tool menu.

Gave it a quick try. The fact that it’s fully local and installable as a PWA is appealing. Performance felt solid in a short test.

Really fast ! Do you plan to make this a local only app ?

This is so fast in the browser, really impressive. Congrats G!

I am not getting the sub menus to expand, e.g. create > pattern >

FYI the initial modal sounds extremely AI generated.

No render clouds?

Sweet!

this blazing fast and smooth, never disappointed by rust
