This Strip is Not Safe For Work!

`Peyo` This is something I thought of which would be pretty neat for building interactions on the site and getting people to work together even more than now. That would be a collab strip which is a strip that has only 1 panel, and when someone draws they take the panel and modify it like they were editing one of their own panels, and when they finish and submit it, the panel then awaits the next modification. What would be really great would be if the panel could be quite large, like 4x the size of a normal panel (so something like 2000x1500) or maybe there could be an option to choose the size, so it could be made smaller if the originator wanted. I didn't really think through all the technical aspects of how this would work, since I was mainly just thinking it would be neat to be able to collab on a pic for group character scenes or to be able to pass a pic back and forth and do different parts of it. The most obvious thing I thought of was probably backups of the collab would need to be saved to the originator's account in case of needing to walk the collab back due to accidents or vandalism. I am not sure how that part would be handled.

for now I can only put this in a 'wish-list' (instead of my todo list) so far increasing the canvas size caused slowdown everytime (which is why the original increase needed so much testing) adding this feature probably involves rethinking the drawing tool from the ground up 🤔 (right now it's beyond my technical capabilities) but I guess you could give this a test run: something like with copy enabled each artist could extend the picture in the previous panel? (and in the future we could put in an option later and potentially turn it into a game mode where by default it hides the previous panels and only show the last panel, maybe does the copy by default etc.) of course this would be a much smaller scale and kind of disappointing compared to the original idea 🤔

`Peyo` That would still be good! The other idea that came to me was the option to just have all panels in a game be editable by everyone who participates. It would be very useful for collaborative projects where instead of trying to complete a comic it was more about working on one gradually. I see about the canvas size, that would definitely be no good to have slowdown, but even at the normal size it would be a pretty neat feature. The canvas here is pretty generous!

the only thing that really standing in the way of that one is the backup system 🤔 I need to rethink it to work better just don't have any good ideas for it yet (main problem is I reused it to save space and the backups are also the animation layers etc.) (new features are more and more hard to add now because I succesfully coded myself into the corner 😔)

`Peyo` I can understand it not being feasible, if coding is an issue, I just mainly was thinking up neat engagement ideas and passing them on. The site's super great as is!

no worries, I want to add new stuff too; and I'm afraid a full rewrite (or just some refit) is long overdue - I just simply don't have the energy or the time to do it 🤔
