Product Introduction
- SimpleDraw is a web-based platform designed to create precise scale drawings for casual users and DIY enthusiasts. It combines accessibility with professional-grade measurement tools, eliminating the need for complex CAD software.
- The core value lies in its ability to democratize technical drawing through an intuitive interface, real-time measurement displays, and non-destructive editing capabilities that maintain accuracy throughout design iterations.
Main Features
- Floorplan Mode: Specialized environment for architectural layouts with single-click wall/door/window placement and upcoming interior fixture libraries for kitchens, bathrooms, and living spaces.
- Smart Alignment System: Context-aware grid assistance with automatic point snapping, axis locking via keyboard shortcuts, and visual feedback that adapts to zoom levels for pixel-perfect positioning.
- Dynamic Measurement Engine: Dual-unit support (metric/US standard) with customizable measurement displays and real-time dimensional updates during object manipulation or viewpoint changes.
Problems Solved
- Eliminates the steep learning curve of professional CAD software for occasional users needing precise schematics for home projects or space planning.
- Serves DIY renovators, interior designers, and workshop enthusiasts requiring accurate scale representations without subscription fees or desktop installations.
- Ideal for creating renovation blueprints, furniture layouts, or technical diagrams that require measurement validation and easy sharing through web links.
Unique Advantages
- Unlike browser-based competitors, offers 100% non-destructive editing with unlimited undo/redo and group element manipulation for complex design iterations.
- Innovative zoom-dependent precision scaling automatically adjusts alignment sensitivity while maintaining the option for manual override through numeric input.
- Combines community-driven development (via Discord integration) with offline-capable web technology, ensuring accessibility across devices without app installations.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
