Great start!!
The dots should be somehow distinguished from the reposition/rescale dots, at least in this situation where you just have the shape selected.
(It is particularly confusing if you've just selected a square.)
I haven't entirely thought this through, but Sketch has a decent system for working with anchors. When you just select a shape, it has no handles for the anchor points. When you double click the shape it selects the first anchor point. When an anchor point is selected, all the anchor points in the same path get handles which you can use to select/drag them.
Shape is selected:
After double click, first anchor is selected, other anchors have handles as long as any anchor in the path is selected:
Also think about how the interface will work to add points. I want it to feel like using a "pen tool". Sketch might have the most sensible model, but I haven't catalogued all the possibilities / existing solutions.
As for visualizing what would happen with the double click, I think this would be a nice touch. Maybe if you have something selected, subtly highlight the shape that would be selected if you were to double click.
@electronicwhisper: I wanted to play around with adding more point-like elements, so as a warm-up I added support for selecting & dragging anchor points. PTAL!
((( Things that seemed sort of funky to me but eventually turned out to make perfect sense:
This is an interesting point to revisit: is there a good way to signify the double-click affordance? )))
