a drawing app where you draw with MATH - luminzier

Date : 16-07-2025

okay luminzier might be one of my favorite weird ideas. its a drawing app, but instead of dragging shapes around with your mouse like a normal person, you define them with variables and MATH. like you place a rectangle and then type an actual expression for its width or position, and it just evaluates it live

so for example if you want to center a rectangle on the canvas you literally type something like c.w/2 - this.properties.width/2 into its x value and boom, its centered, and it stays correct even if the canvas changes. you get access to canvas variables, the current object's own properties, a bunch of special variables i defined, and you can do full math expressions anywhere a number goes. its like a spreadsheet and a drawing tool had a baby

the reason i love this is its the intersection of two things i find beautiful, visual creativity and programming logic. most design tools hide the math from you, luminzier makes the math the whole point and turns it into a playground. its niche as hell and probably only appeals to people who think like programmers, but thats exactly who i built it for, including me. no math in the colour field though, gotta draw the line somewhere lol
