Looking to turn my kid loose with some vector graphics software. Hardware is an older MacBook.
Specific recommendations? Inkscape, Affinity Designer, other?
-
@inthehands Inkscape was alright, haven't tried Affinity Designer but have been very happy with Affinity Photo
-
@inthehands Oh, and: The vector graphics built into Affinity Photo are pretty similar to those that were found on Adobe products so I assume the Designer ones are similar as well. Generally they're pretty low computation to run. Inkscape is a bit different, and was clunky in some ways, but if the child doesn't have any Adobe jank in their muscle memory yet, it's alright.

@inthehands A packet of raw SVGs might be an interesting adjunct. Map outlines, scenes, maybe little animations?
But that's me who came up via the W3C SVG primer and rewrote Hunt The Wumpus in SVG. http://aristobit.com/svg/wumpus.svg
PaperJS is a reimplementation of a fancy vector design app in JS + HTML Canvas. My fan art picture frame app uses PaperJS.
And then there's Observable.
Inkscape should be fine. I had strange behavior on Win10 starting in the background and hooking too many file types.
