Getting Started
Introduction
What OxieDraw is, who it is for, and how it is built.
OxieDraw is a drawing app that targets performance, simplicity and a great user experience. The goal is a good, easy-to-use app for Linux, but still have powerful tooling that is easy to learn and use long-term.
Agenda
- Simple and clean UI without reducing functionality
- Runs on as many platforms as possible, without functionality deviations
- Absolutely Zero AI-image-generation tools.
- Licensed under GPLv3
Stack
- Rust - the whole app
- GTK + LibAdwaita - windowing and UI with respect to system theme
- Ash (Vulkan) - the rendering and brush pipeline
Current Process
OxieDraw is in the active development. It already supports pen and mouse drawing, layers, raster filters, shapes, selections, masks, gestures, adjustment layers, an advanced brush engine and text. More information about current process could be found on the Roadmap.
