Hey HN! We just officially launched with a big set of updates we pushed last night. We'd love your thoughts and feedback.

Here's and example of something an early registrant made with our tools: http://drawwith.me/kyle/23-Can-I-be-Frank-with-you%3F . And our update just made a number of improvements to the drawing tool.

We'd like to bring high quality drawing/image editing tools to everyone for free, and make it easy to create and share using them. Let us know your thoughts!

I would recommend allowing people to draw without signing up. Or at least provide a demo that people can use before signing up.

Why not have the drawing pad on the homepage? That way you won't lose people, like me, who could not be bothered to sign up because it involved filling in a form.

Maybe have a save button and when they click on that force them to save. That way they have an incentive to sign up because otherwise they will lose their painting.

Here is my user interaction: "Ooooo, new thing to try out. This looks like fun. Wait, I have to sign-up? What will be my return on investment fun-wise for this sign-up... Not sure, back to Hacker News."
