SVG-edit

[jancborchardt]

I use Inkscape a lot for icons and like the idea of not needing a desktop app for that. Mondrian looks cool, and in functionality is very similar to SVG-edit (also open source).

Hence I wonder if you know SVG-edit, if there’s been talk with the devs, what the differences are, etc. I just think that lots of open source projects would benefit from cross-project collaboration or at least communication instead of just doing »yet another x« without checking with the people who did stuff which already exists. :)

Yeah, I know about SVG edit. It's great. It's respectable. It's stable. It's technically mature and capable.

I think it also really lacks design sense, but that's not its focus.

I haven't corresponded with them. I don't really have any interest in working with them. Mondrian was created with a different goal, it is designed with a different focus, and it has a different future.

I will say it was nice to get affirmation that this sort of thing was possible in the browser back when I was starting out on Mondrian. I remember seeing SVG-edit for the first time a few weeks into development, two winters ago.

@artursapek I totally agree that it lacks design sense – that’s why I like Mondrian instead. A design tool should also focus on being well designed itself of course.

Thank you for the clarification. I’ll see to add Mondrian to http://libreprojects.net

That would be great! Thanks a lot. I appreciate it.
