A webassembly web based app that help editing raster and vector on browser without any subscription or signups

Tip: you are blocking text selection for the terms of use and in a number of other spots. People often use text selection to copy and paste words for a variety of reasons. Some people select blocks of text to help mark what they are reading, and some people use it to paste the words in a dictionary or translation service of their choice. (Or when making a bug report to copy the version number from the about screen.)

Don't block text selection for prose, only for UI elements.

thanks for the feedback and reporing the bug, the goal was to have the custom context menu instead of the browser one; but seems like that casued an error, will fix it asap.

FYI the initial modal sounds extremely AI generated.

thanks for the feedback, the Fox is a traced vector from a raster image and it's been added just to great users with some good vibes, and give user a wam feeling :D .

hopefuly I get some time and I personally create a nice vector and add it to the samples, some isometric catroon and doing it manually (there is a iso berlin that I am working but manual labor takes so much time...).

Really fast ! Do you plan to make this a local only app ?
