    Comments about Lorien as an Alternative to Explain Everything
     
    Flavinsh

    Very promising, but feels a little bit unpolished yet.

    • : Minimalist (Tab to hide UI), Intuitive keyboard shortcuts (B: Brush, E: Erase, R: Rectangle, C: Circle), Pan/Zoom with middle click (or pen with remapped key).
    • : Lacks multi-pages, PDF export (note: current SVG export quality is bad).

    Can't wait for an update !
