Hi! Awesome app, thanks !
Keep it simple, that's what makes it beautiful !

Some improvements could be made, among others regarding the text tool :

It would be nice to be able to scale a text block, like we can for images.

There is a nice feature in Adobe After Effect, which is that the same text tool can either be used to start a simple text line, but, if you hold the mouse, you can draw a text box that will contain the text :

Thanks for the idea @gordielachance! I've been experimenting with this kind of thing for text shapes for the next big version—the UX is a bit more complex than it may seem. At best we'd want to have a fixed width but not a fixed height. Anyway, we most likely won't be changing the way the text tool works on this version.
