I wanted a vector editor that I could open in my browser and just use .
No AI generating things for me, No prompts. No "let AI design it." (tbf it's not that cheap also to offer that for free)
Just a vector editor.
So I built Scissor.
Try it: https://scissor.samalstudios.com/
Initially I wanted to call it OpenScissor and make it open source, but hey I don't want Microsft to train their agens on.
It has the usual stuff you'd expect, shapes, paths, text, layers, etc; but the main idea is pretty simple:
You make the design.
I don't use vector graphics software professionally; so , I didn't really want a massive application with hundreds of features that I'd probably never touch
Why I built it?
It feels like every creative tool is adding AI to everything these days.
That's not really what I'm looking for.
Sometimes I just want to move some points around, tweak a path, draw a shape, mess around with an idea, and actually make it myself.
That's what I'm trying to do with Scissor.
It's not trying to replace every professional workflow. It's just a vector editor that stays out of the way.
Did I used ai to building it?
Heck yeah I did, judge me ... hate me or ..., for me it's another tool and I like using new shiny things.. .
I'd love some feedback
If you work with SVGs, illustrations, icons, or just occasionally need a vector editor, I'd love to know what you think.
What features are missing?
What's annoying?
What would make you actually use a browser-based vector editor?
And if you try it, I'd especially like to know what feels unnecessarily complicated (I am wokring on an alternative ui to this classic ui under https://scissor.samalstudios.com/new-ui) .
