Congratulations and suggestions

Congratulations on creating Shapefly! It is useful and fairly intuitive already. I look forward to seeing it develop.

Comments / Suggestions:

• Bug: There seems to be no obvious way to turn off textures or patterns for an object.
• I like the preset border/shading combinations you can pick from the toolbar but found it strange that you can't (yet?) set those same styles yourself manually (gradients, specifically).
• Bug: Changing border/shading/texture on a shape often "erases" its text until you edit it. This could be a paint order issue.
• Connecting lines/arrows to shape nodes is unintuitive. Hovering over a shape highlights all nodes but the end points of lines/arrows don't "stick" unless you are on a node (and not always consistently, either). It would be better if only the nearest node highlighted and the line/arrow snapped to that.
• There doesn't seem to be any way to share a direct link to a particular drawing.

I'm sure some of these issues come from Shapefly being so new. Otherwise, it is fun and seems very promising.

I'm glade to receive your feedback so detail. Thanks very much. Reply for your comments / suggestions:

• I will supply "No Fill" and "No Outline" on its dropdown menu,I think it will be obvious enough.
• The gradient effects are on the way, and will be apply to the dropdown menu.
• I have reproduced the problem, will fix it soon.
• I know the connecting lines/arrows are not good enough. I keep in mind and improve it one day.
• Shapefly is a full static website and hosting on github pages.To share a direct link, I had to develop some backend applications and cost me much. It has been on my schedual,will support it ASAP.

Thanks again for your good comments /suggestions.
