jcblw / scribble-pad

An electron app and CLI tool that makes a sandbox env for you to write canvas creative code projects.

Scribble Pad

This is an electron app and cli tool that allows you to spin up creative coding environments with just a file. This file currently works with both javascript and typescript files.

Example file

Why

This is in early development but I would like a tool to not only be able to prototype creative coding projects, but also be able to distribute them as well. This will eventually have a tool to package the code as well in an electron app. As well as match the api an underlying tool react-scribble to be able to add it into React applications as components.

Currently the app does not open in electron
