Hey Contra — new here but figured I’d share what I’ve been building.

I’ve been posting progress on Twitter, but quick look at where Desk Doodles is at.

It’s basically a canvas that takes any drawing, SVG, or image and pushes it through different hand-drawn treatments — rough sketch, bold ink, stipple, charcoal, etc.

The fun part is that every mark-making modifier is controllable. Wobble, multi-stroke, shading, pen tips, texture, all that stuff. The fun part is its going to become a live canvas people around the world can put thier own object. Think of it like a desk as a public space!

The bigger goal is an intelligent design system that can look at the source and pick the right treatment per region automatically. So it’s not just “slap a filter on it.” It’s more like the system understanding what kind of marks should go where.

Where it’s at right now:

/audit — 197 reference shapes rendering through every style in real time. This is mostly the engine testbed.

/playground — pick items, place them, tweak modifiers live.

SVG upload is working too.

Still need to ship drawing → 3D, complex SVG → 3D, public canvas, and mode switching.

But yeah, that’s where I’m at right now.
