Hey guys, I'm the friend who's been working on this with Charles. The decision to use Pyjamas came from desire to use the same language for the front- end and back-end. It has already paid off, we originally implemented both the clipping and recognition algorithms in the front-end, but later decided to move them to the back-end to reduce the front-end size/load-time. As an added bonus, having them on the back-end prevents copy-cats from reusing our code (not that we're against open- sourcing parts of it eventually, just not yet). We apologize for the bugs you guys mentioned, we're tweaking things as we go (part of being Agile). dederocks, for the color issue you mentioned, it has the default opacity at 0%, I get caught off-guard by that myself quite a bit too. Charles has just suggested that I switch to 100% opacity automatically if user picks a color when opacity is at 0%.
Also, we're curious to know what you guys think about the interface. We've already got some feedback that the icons should be larger and some buttons moved around. We don't want to clutter the app with complicated menus, so we're aiming to maximize usability while minimizing the number of buttons. It's likely that the interface/menus will change a ton over the next few weeks based on user feedback. Also, for those of you using Macs, use Ctrl+Click instead of right- click.
