I tried it but like most note taking apps like this, I feel like that drawing with vectors just doesn't feel that great: The stroke changes a bit after being jotted down, the curves sometimes end up jagged, the erase experience sometimes leaves to be desired. And selection/lasso are either missing or underpar.

Mischief was the last app with this kind of features that felt right to me. I don't know if it's the use of ADF (Adaptively Sampled Distance Fields[1], think SDF but defined as quadtrees[2]) or what. Honestly if it wasn't for the lack of a lasso tool (which I was always hoping it would come until it died) I would still just use that.

Dreams doesn’t quite use an octree SDF for its geometry representation.

It uses a tree of CSG edits (basically the raw stroke inputs) which is then stochastically sampled (as an SDF) to produce points on the surface that are splatted. Alex Evans’ talk on this is fantastic btw and I thoroughly recommend it.

Yeah, the main problem is that i did not implement proper brush stroke smoothing yet. A lasso tool would also be nice, yeah.

It's still 0.x software though...for the 1.0 release i want add all these things ;)

Godspeed!

0.x has no meaning to me, everyone's threshold of 1.0 is arbitrary anyway
