Drawing

This simple image editor, similar to Microsoft Paint, is aiming at the GNOME desktop.

PNG, JPEG and BMP files are supported.

Besides GNOME, the app is well integrated in traditional-looking desktops, as well as elementaryOS.

It should also be compatible with the Pinephone and Librem 5 smartphones.
