This is pretty amazing!

I am looking for a quick way to sketch some apps and this might be the simplest way to do so even though it misses a couple of things.

Some of the things to improve:

* Snapping. Sometimes when the area is small, the snapping is annoying as I won't be able to vertically center text in the box even though it should be possible physically. Maybe, turning off snapping?

* More text settings (font size at least)

* Predefined elements. Surely, it must be kept simple but things like arrows would help a lot and my crooked hands won't have to draw crooked arrows :)




Thanks!

> Snapping

You might be able to do what you want by zooming in (alt + scroll). When you're zoomed in, the snap interval is smaller.

You can also move text without any snapping with click+hold, then drag using the text tool.

Grouping is also coming, which will allow you to auto-center text in a box.

> font size

You can change font size by hitting "+" or "-". It will affect all selected text.

> Predefined elements

We're still working on this, but we remember everything you copy and paste. You can manage them from the "Clipboard history" in the upper left menu. You can use that to define your own components.

The next version of that feature will make it much easier to get the clips that you starred into the document, without having to go through the menu.

For arrows, hold "A" and click the edges of 2 shapes. We'll create an arrow between them.
