Thanks for testing it! The minimal UI is intentional, but I totally get the learning curve comment — it’s something I want to keep improving. Vectorpea is great and definitely more familiar for many users. My goal with VectorNest is a lightweight, install-free editor focused on quick SVG fixes and workflows. Appreciate the comparison.

Great potential here! I like the easy and friendliness of the tools to use. It would be nice to weld paths. I find myself having to clean up disjointed paths in svgs from time to time. Shapebuilding operations would be incredible, too. Great work!

Thank you! Advanced shape building tools are already available in the third button of the bottom menu (Advanced Tools), and it also includes Trim Path. Boolean operations are implemented as well. I’ll add proper path welding/union to the roadmap. Cleaning messy SVG paths is one of the core problems VectorNest wants to solve, so this feedback is super valuable. Really appreciate you trying it!

Well done, love the minimal UI. The menus are familiar in any case just tucked away for better drawing experience.

Thank you! That was exactly the idea — keep the UI out of the way so the canvas gets the focus, while still keeping familiar tools accessible when needed. Really glad it felt natural to use.

this is so great! thanks for sharing.

any thoughts on what you are going to do next with it? leave as-is or keep adding features?

can you explain the reasoning behind the plugin system a bit more - is it a pattern you came up with or is it based on an existing plugin architecture?

can you add a License to the github?

Thank you! This is definitely an initial version and I hope to keep evolving it with more features over time.

The plugin-centered architecture comes from how the project was built: a large part of the development was done with AI agents (Copilot, Claude, Codex, Antigravity, etc.). To reduce the risk of new features breaking existing functionality, a strong approach was to keep a stable core and implement capabilities as plugins. The project also has many Playwright end-to-end tests that help catch regressions when something fails.

And yes — I’ll review options and add an appropriate license to the GitHub repo soon.

This is awesome! One piece of feedback: on my gesture controlled phone the bottom menu is a bit too low, low enough to overlap with the "gesture bar" at the bottom.
