Field notes
The canvas supports square, wide, portrait, and custom formats from 320 to 4096 pixels per side. Its smoothing workflow distinguishes between a new stroke and an existing selected stroke, while preserving original points for restoration. Drafts remain in the browser, with downloadable .drawing.json backups and a previous-draft recovery option. The page also documents keyboard shortcuts, text handles, wrapping, and the limits of browser-based storage.
