Hey @llumiaho! Quite a few differences, but I've had a bad habit of writing novels in Product Hunt comments, so let me give you a quick TL;DR. Vectr's Cross Platform: Vectr's Mac, Windows, Linux, Chromebook, and Web. Vectr's also collaborative: Though we haven't fully released the feature, we've built Vectr to run with full built-in Google docs style collaboration. We've also laid down the groundwork for built-in version control, built-in prototyping, built-in feedback/annotation tools, built-in design handoffs, etc. Basically, everything that's currently separated into a different tool and currently a completely different step of the design process, we'll be integrating directly into Vectr itself so that a designer manage their entire workflow seamlessly in the one app. Although we haven't shipped most of that yet, the past two years of development have been laying the groundwork and building the tech to make sure we have a foundation upon which we can do all of that. It's going to be an exciting next year as these features start to ship ;)

@mjirout Fear not! You didn't waste your money on Fiverr. The "image" option will upload an image into your design, but it won't "convert" it to Vectr. To "convert" to Vectr you'd have to manually re-draw the image by hand.

@nickbudden - got it, thanks info. I created it in Gimp, so hopefully I can create it in Vectr as well. Looking forward to trying out the product!

@mjirout Hope you like it! Lemme know if you have any issues.

@elizabethhunker Shooting a lot higher than that ;)

@nickbudden what are the huge leaps?

Hey @bentossell! Quite a few, let me just run through a couple. In beta, we didn't have layers (at all). We've added a layers panel, the ability to lock and show/hide layers, set width/height/rotation/x-position/y-position of layers, etc. May seem subtle, but for a lot of our users this was a huge step. We've also added SVG importing. For many users, the ability to import SVG's - in order to continue editing a design they already have, or in order to build a design at least partially out of assets they find on the web - was another huge step. We saw quite an uptick here. Curves! In beta, we actually didn't yet have any way to edit curves (i.e. bezier editing). If you see the blue laptop in the screenshot above, I actually created that before we had a way to edit curves directly, and it literally took days. Now, with our curve tools, the same project may take me 1.5-2 hours. One member of our team has spent the better part of the last half-year on curve and path editing tools, and with his help we've taken curves (and path editing in general) many steps ahead. Linux support! Linux users have long been at an almost complete lack when it comes to vector editing software, so we made a point of making sure we shipped solid/equal support for Linux alongside other platforms. We've gotten a wealth of support from the Linux community for this, but just to keep things concise I grabbed the most recent comment from a few hours back ;): https://medium.com/@arissetia.m/... Firefox support! Roughly a quarter of our users are Firefox users, but in beta we couldn't support these users - pretty much the whole app would explode in a ball of fire for Firefox users. We've gotten this fixed! We've got partial offline support! In beta, you needed a constant internet connection in order to use Vectr, but we're happy to say that we're no longer so tethered. Now, with Vectr 1.0, you can make up to 200 changes without an internet connection, before you need to re-connect and sync. For those with weak internet connections, and especially those in countries where their internet can be on/off, this means they can finally use Vectr uninterrupted. These users have long had problems with things like Google Docs blocking up and stopping to work each time their internet connection disconnects, and we wanted to make sure these users were covered. Gradients! We've added full support for gradients. This includes basic things like adding/removing color stops, repositioning, etc. as well as some more advanced features like gradient support for text. I could go on, but this post is getting a bit wordy as-is ;P Better than writing out a novel here, let me link you to a few articles where we map out our progress over the last year: - https://vectr.com/blog/updates/3... - https://vectr.com/blog/updates/0... - https://vectr.com/blog/updates/0... - https://vectr.com/blog/updates/v... - https://vectr.com/blog/updates/v... - https://vectr.com/blog/updates/0... - https://vectr.com/blog/updates/0... - https://vectr.com/blog/updates/0... - https://vectr.com/blog/updates/0... - https://vectr.com/blog/updates/0... - https://vectr.com/blog/updates/0... - https://vectr.com/blog/updates/0... - https://vectr.com/blog/updates/0... Even with that info, and those articles, I think it covers about half of what's shipped. We've quadrupled the app's speed, and most importantly gotten rid of the dreaded crash screen by fixing 100+ different ways to crash the app, and around the same number of other bugfixes in different parts of the app. Hope you enjoy Vectr 1.0!

@bentossell Should also note, although the look/feel of the app are the same we've shipped an entirely re-vamped layout two days back, for better usability, as part of coming out of beta ;)

@bentossell A buddy told me my answer was wayyy too long. So here's a shorter/less-rambling summary: - Offline editing - Curves & Proper Path Editing - Layers - Gradients - Linux Support - Chromebook Support - SVG Import - Firefox support - New UI - Doesn't crash! - 100+ bugfixes

@nickbudden haha it was preettyyy long but lets just say 'comprehensive' I like the TL;DR too :)

@baybayin Awesome! Let us know if there's anything we could do to help you get started ;)

@lynnfredricks Hey, we don't have a way for this now but if you find the text tough to read we'll lighten it up to make it more visible ;)

@vladcalus Thanks Vlad!
