trying out your suggestion for stacked layers. trying to figure out what the best blend mode to use for the top layer
surprisingly i think ‘darken’ works best overall, here it is on a dark bk w both a light stroke and a dark stroke
scratch that ‘color’ i think is the way to go. I tried basing the blend mode off the specific canvas stroke color itself but that doesn’t seem to work (canvas blending doesn’t seem to apply to the background nodes the same way css blending does)

Beta available for space drawing. It doesn’t yet support saving or collaboration, but you can test out the actual drawing tools and how that feels

An updated drawing beta is now ready. This one is feature complete and includes
- space expanding when you draw near the edges
- saving and restoring drawings in cache (low res) and on the server (high res)
- full collaboration support
- undo and redo (if you’re in drawing mode when you do the undo/redo shortcut drawing strokes will undo/redo. If you’re not in drawing mode they’ll act on cards/content as they do now. This probably won’t be something you notice irl)
I’ve tested this as best as I can , but this is a huge chonk of code (both client and server-side), so any issues you can find with this before it ships would be super helpful!
there’s a lot of new frequently-occurring image conversion/rasterization tasks now happening on the server too, so I’ll be keeping track of how painful things become for the server.

i think the solid stroke color could be above boxes, instead of below them. i dont see myself wanting to draw over the box title and other than that it would be better if the stroke was more visible when drawing over a box with a background set.
bug bugbug: undone strokes still get saved and appear on a refresh (sometimes)
Mobile bug:
- two finger pinch gesture will draw instead of zoom
- two finger tap to undo/redo not working on drawing
the drawing is above boxes. maybe some color combination you were using made it not appear that way?
released a fix
shipped. happy drawing!

lil bug: the eraser also appears as a stroke until i refresh the page.
also, the minimap keeps showing some strokes that were erased, but i can’t find out the reason as new strokes i draw then erase disappear.

Released a fix for that on Friday. Could you give it another look?
