We need to create a features page that highlights some of the key features of MyPaint. Some of the Features I know are:

  • Customizable Brush Engine that emulates not only Traditional brushes but also more exotic ones.
  • True Infinite Canvas.
  • Graphics Tablet Support.
  • No-Distraction Full screen UI
  • Layers with group folders,vector layers and external application support.
  • Cross-Platform

Like I said where looking for key features that make MyPaint stand out from the crowd. Ones that stand out to me are its brush engine, layers features, and No-distraction UI. Right now we just need information. We can worry about design later. If you need help creating a good flow to explain x key feature, take a look at http://www.hemingwayapp.com/ which @achadwick mentioned in mypaint/website-old#7 .

Also we would love if you can take screenshots of mypaint highlighting your favourite feature of mypaint. Like mentioned in #8, it's licensing will have to conform to our licensing policy on our wiki. Post them on our Community Forums on this Post

Let me know your guys ideas down below.


updated: Added screenshot paragraph
updated: Added Link to Discourse Thread
updated: Changed to features page.

Should this be where the screenshots we've been gathering in mypaint/mypaint#149 go, or does that deserve its own page?

Screenshots are one of the things people look for when first confronted with a new program. If some can be incorporated onto the home page as feature previews, that would look great!

Yeah, that great suggestion actually. We don't have to transfer them over here since it is linked now. We could close that issue and point them here to post their screenshots too. I'll edit the first post accordingly if you do that.

@achadwick , I have updated my screenshot. I am very glad that you like my work, :). I like MyPaint very much and I appreciate you guys' effort on it a lot. I would be very happy if my work can help to promote MyPaint. I have more works on deviantart http://ilovepumpkin2014.deviantart.com/ - if you like, you could pick up any of them.

@ilovepumpkin That screenshot looks great! There's such a lovely human warmth and glow to it ^^. Are you wanting us to use it on our website or for other promotional purposes?

You'd need to allow us (and others) to reuse it for that: here's our licensing policy. I would suggest putting a subtle but unambiguous note on it saying "© 2015 [YOUR NAME HERE], CC BY-SA 3.0".

You should be able to edit existing posts and replace images. Just drop another comment to state your intent if you do that.

@achadwick , I have updated my screenshot by editing my original one a few days ago ( right after I saw your reply), but unfortunately I forgot to start this new comment (you are only notified when there is a new comment, right? - I guess so), :).
