Feasibility of Free Browser-Based Graphic Design Tools
Problem
Users want to edit raster and vector graphics in a browser without subscriptions, but face obstacles such as blocked text selection, lack of offline capability, and unclear open‑source or issue‑reporting options.
Pain points
- Text selection is blocked, hindering copy‑paste
- Need for offline execution or local backup to avoid service loss
- Desire for open‑source availability and issue‑reporting channels
Questions to verify
- Would you be willing to provide more details about offline usage needs?
- Does addressing the blocked text selection matter to you?
- Are you interested in contributing to open source or filing issues?

Tip: you are blocking text selection for the terms of use and in a number of other spots. People often use text selection to copy and paste words for a variety of reasons.

How can I access this forever without fears of it going away? I hate changing things like workflows or interfaces really. How can I keep a copy locally to run it such that it no longer requires access to the web or freeze the current working version?
