BWN: Snakes and Uncertainty
Bi-Weekly Wednesday Newsletter no. 129[GREETING GOES HERE] What's Going OnI didn't draw anything so I'm just gonna talk about Mudboard MudboardIt's been about 3 months and I think things have evolved. I wrote a lil article about why Mudboard should exist. So remember how I have this grid format with like a "mirror mode." It was cool, but I realized it didn't too anything too unique. Next thing I tried, I built a way to reuse the references (the right panel) I think it's useful, but I think it's too new of a concept. Could work in the future. A lot of people were asking for a way to resize images. And I couldn't figure it out on the grid mode, so found a way to switch between a freeform canvas and grid format. Doing this was a big move, cause there's so many more possibilities now. Most recently I made a thing to let people export their boards, which changed things a lot. Now people can make something with the app. That's crazy I have to work on improving my on-boarding, cause I don't think it's clear exactly how people should use this. But I think I stumbled into something....we'll see if it works out. What I've been thinking aboutI think whether I succeed or fail with Mudboard, I'll have grown a ton. And I've already grown so much! I'm learning a lot about working through uncertainty right now. I don't really know exactly what the future is, but I know generally where to go next, and that's all I can do anyways. If nothing works out I can probably just do some random tech job or draw more comics for people Thank you!Next Newsletter on August 6th! Shop | Previous posts | Main website |
