Write or draw as much as you like, but only to a single scratch space. Designed for a tablet device, but usable anywhere.
Screenshot:
When you're done, export to html and clear the slate.
Feel free to quit any time. The scratch space is preserved across restarts.
etch.love is a compatible fork of lines.love, an editor for plain text where you can also seamlessly insert line drawings. Designed above all to be easy to modify and give you early warning if your modifications break something.
Install LÖVE. It's just a 5MB download, open-source and extremely well-behaved.
To run from the terminal, pass this directory to LÖVE.
Alternatively, turn it into a .love file you can double-click on:
$ zip -r /tmp/lines.love *.lua
Html files are saved in the directory containing this app.

Drawing doesn't work yet on some (anecdotally Android) mobile devices.
No support yet for Unicode graphemes spanning multiple codepoints.
No support yet for right-to-left languages.
The text cursor will always stay on the screen. This can have some strange implications:
So far this app isn't really designed for drawing-heavy files. For now I'm targeting mostly-text files with a few drawings mixed in.
No clipping yet for drawings. In particular, circles/squares/rectangles and point labels can overflow a drawing.
If you ever see a crash when clicking on the mouse, it might be because a mouse press and release need to happen in separate frames. Try pressing and releasing more slowly and let me know if that helps or not. This is klunky, sorry.
Can't scroll while selecting text with mouse.
This repo is a fork of lines.love, an editor for plain text where you can also seamlessly insert line drawings. Its immediate upstream is lines-mobile.love, a version for Android and iOS devices. Updates to it can be downloaded from:
Further forks are encouraged. If you show me your fork, I'll link to it here.
Most appreciated. Messages, PRs, patches, forks, it's all good.
