Launch: Draft for iPad - (37signals)

minimalmac:

Draft makes it very easy to quickly sketch a concept in broad strokes and share it via email or Campfire. It only comes in black with red and white ink. There’s only one pen weight meant to emulate a standard sharpie. Draft is a “just draw and share the damn thing quickly” tool. It’s not for fine art, it’s not for tinkering with colors or weights. It’s the quickest way we know how to share a quick visual idea with the rest of our crew no matter where they are.

Where to even begin?

I love everything about this. I love the simplicity. I love the “scratch your own itch first” approach that infuses everything 37 Signals does. I love their defense of lack of features (This isn’t about precision, it’s about a rough first draft. Just draw the box.). I love their defense of the $9.99 price tag (It’s perfectly fine to say “I would not get $10 worth of value out of this” or “I’d rather have a game”. Doesn’t make the price “ridiculous” though. Just too high for you.). Love, Love, Love. 

Was doing just this today with a client, tho rather than spend the $10 here I just downloaded draw 4 free. Can choose any color and has different pen weights. Save to album if you want to email.
