Your drawings are now automatically saved to a global folder (~/.drawdata)!

• The web UI features a beautiful sidebar showing all your previous drawings.
• Any changes you make are instantly auto-saved to your local hard drive.
• You can create new drawings from the sidebar or by running draw <filename> to instantly jump into a specific file.
