Even being still in early stages, it is already a great piece of software that helped me greatly in software development. Infinite canvas, fast, easy to remove (and move) stuff because every stroke is a separate object. Changeable background, brush tip size, stroke color. Version 0.6.0, latest to this date, has added rebindable shortcuts and fixed drawing small details. Like, what else do you need? Fix some more issues, like render the output SVG properly, and it's perfect. If you don't need that svg of perfect quality, only a virtual blackboard (whiteboard?.. im confused), then Lorien is fully usable.
Well, the app is cool. But Excalidraw does the same things, only better. And Inkscape does the same things as well if it's an SVG building activity.
Lorien is in the middle of the road, not an SVG editor, nor an Infinity Board for us to put our ideas on.
It's like a notepad in relation to Word. On his terms, obviously.
Uninstalled.
Fast, easy to use and simple. It has an infinite canvas but does not have the option to paste images in the canvas yet.
Current version: 0.6.0
Till now the best option for Linux
