| Just FYI, your templates say "doble" click to edit

| Is this demo meant to be working? I can't upload a video.

| I've not heard much about Canva. How is it different than Adobe
| Express?
| chloe-bm wrote:
| It should be very similar, not sure if adobe express supports
| video and presentations.

| Great start!! Thanks for sharing! I couldnt get animate to work,
| but looking forward to use this as this matures.

| We may get animations soon

| Canva has many subtle behaviors, such as how it clips and pan
| photos, snapping and alignment. If you want to build something
| comparable I would recommend ditch fabricjs and roll your own.
| Just need to brush up on matrix transform and vector math.

| If only I had more than one down vote to give. I find that

| zyang wrote:
| Lol sorry it came across that way. Not trying to be
| dismissive - simplify speaking from experience after working
| on several similar products in the past decade. The drag and
| drop editing experience is core to everything and you can't
| out source that.

| That's a lot of anger for some fairly reasonable advice.

| I love using Canva, but a large part of the value is the assets

| from cloning just the software.
| chloe-bm wrote:
| New features are being implemented: Import templates from PSD,
| AI, Figma, SVG.
|
| Also, people can customize it at their own needs.

| dalle might make the images less important. It's not there yet,

| tomcam wrote:
| That is impressive and exciting. Thank you. I look forward to
| giving it a more serious spin when I am finished with my current
| project.

| is there way to automate poster building? i mean i was looking
| for something like this?
|
| a simple example would be how office diaries are made. the
| frontpage is same but the name is changed for each customer.
|
| maybe your software can do this programatically mail-merge style?
| like we give a template, we give client list and boom, indiviual
| poster for each client?
| chloe-bm wrote:
| Yes, we have dynamic content support. You can introduce
| variables inside designs for: Text, Images, Video, etc. You can
| join our server and ask us anything.
