an amazing g-code generator! only 2 issues:

  1. its look like its stopped being develop! someone just came, do amazing job, and forgot to perfect his art piece!!!
  2. its support only SVG files! other then that, its really amazing web app that can compete with other compilers that are commercial... thank a lot for your amazing work :)

Not everything needs to be updated if it works alright. jscut uses SVG files because they're vector graphics, not raster graphics. To use a PNG or JPG or other raster graphics filetype you would still need to convert them yourself to an SVG file. I'd recommend Inkscape to do this, as they have a trace bitmap function that, with input from a human (i.e. you), can effectively convert a raster into a vector file for use in g-code generation.
