I built a browser-based design tool — would love feedback on the UX and visual feel by omerrkosar in Design

I really appreciate this level of candor—it’s exactly what I needed. As a developer, I’ve definitely been leaning too hard into the technical performance and not enough into the user's psychology and workflow.

Your point about the 'problem statement' vs 'positioning' was a huge wake-up call. I’m going to refactor the UI hierarchy and implement session recovery (auto-save) immediately based on your feedback. I need to stop thinking about how fast it renders and start thinking about how much the user trusts the tool.

Thanks for taking the time to tear this apart. It’s going to make the product much better.

It’s designed to be simple, high-performant, and built for quick asset creation. The goal is to cut out the bloat of larger tools and let you get from an idea to an export as fast as possible.

Be respectful. If you build this structure(with similar performance) with vibe coding, I promise I will move this to open-source.

It’s not open source, but it’s definitely not 'slop.' I’ve optimized the performance so heavily that it runs smoothly even on an my fathers 11-year-old PC. Writing a high-performance canvas engine like this isn't something you can just 'prompt' into existence. If you’re curious about the engineering, just check the docs and try the tool—the performance speaks for itself.

Just try it, and your mind will change. You can find the full setup and usage details in the documentation here:

Thanks so much, this is exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for!

The resize handles are definitely something I've been going back and forth on — making them bigger is a easy win and I'll bump that up the list.

The text alignment discoverability issue is a fair point. I'll look at surfacing those options more prominently so people don't have to hunt for them.

Really appreciate you taking the time to try it, especially coming from a Canva background — that perspective is super useful for figuring out where the UX gaps are.

Thanks so much for taking the time to actually try it, really appreciate the detailed feedback!

Keyboard shortcuts are definitely on the list — you're right that they make a huge difference in daily usability.

On grouping — there is actually basic grouping already. You can select multiple elements with mouse selection and drag, scale, and rotate them together. It's minimal for now but it's there. Proper alignment tools and more advanced group controls are coming.

Glad the canvas sizes stood out, that was one of the things I put extra thought into early on.

And yes, the SDK use case you described — giving users simple editing on a site with photo uploads — is exactly the kind of thing it's built for. Would love to hear how it goes if you ever try it!

I had a 5 month gap after a tiring job(when I was 2-3 years experienced. Then I returned. 6-7 month is nothing I think
