Gravit - Official Announcement

[gravit]

Hello all,

I'd like to officially announce Gravit, a design tool goaled towards print as well as screen design and event prototyping in the Spirit of Freehand and Fireworks.

We've recently published an early alpha version which you can try online by going to

http://www.gravit.io

As you can see, the following features are implemented and working closely / equal to Freehand and / or Fireworks:

- Multiple Pages
- RGB, CMYK colors in same document
- Path Tool
- Bezigon Tool
- Path Editing
- Ellipse Editor
- Rectangle Editor
- more

Have a look at it and let us know what you think

Wow, great start.
Drawing feels just like freehand.
One question. I haven't figured out how to apply a color fill or color lines?

Save or export doesn't seem to be ready yet.

Thanks. Path handling is still a bit buggy though we're on fixing those things.

For now, the style UI is still missing though you can actually simply drop colors from anywhere on either contour or fill.

Ah, I found the YouTube clips but it didn't work so I tried with Chrome instead of InternetExplorer and now it works.
Must be IE that doesnt work well.

Can you adjust line thickness?
What save and export formats are you going to implement?

I really like the feel of it. Some UI quirks but I guess they'll be smoothed out later on...

Could be, heavily untested on IE, only Chrome and Firefox.

Can you adjust line thickness?

Not yet, working on style UI right now.

What save and export formats are you going to implement?

Save format is our internal, human-readable gravit format. Export will be Raster (PNG,JPG,etc.), PDF and interactive SVG.

Sounds good.
I think some sort of save and export would be good to have early on to attract users to try it if you can do something and actually save it.
You might get more and better feedback that way.
Still a great start. I just tried the polygon tool and wow, just wow.
