Thank you so much for the kind words 🙂 Yeah when you “save & share”, you can either click on the resulting image or right-click and save-as as you would for other pictures online. I guess I could make things a little more obvious… I’ll work on that 🙂 Thanks for the feedback!

It appears that all i needed to do was ask – and now I can see that the downloads are appearing at the bottom of the screen and I can copy them to the my desktop. 😛
Thanks again. This is a really lovely lovely lovely tool. 🙂 <3

Hi Ben,
I’m in love with your mandala tool. 🙂
I’m using your “save and share” button, trying to download the images so i can print – but I don’t see them landing anywhere.
Any tips?

In reply to ben. Haha actually right after I had posted that question I found the newer version, and it is working beautifully!! Thank you for taking the time to give me that helpful response. I should have searched harder to begin with lol thanks again

Howdy, thanks for letting me know. This is most likely due to the fact that I just released a drastically newer version of the tool. Could you do a hard refresh in your browser? Chrome tends to cache things to a fault. Clicking on the refresh icon manually should trigger it. Maybe try another browser if that doesn’t do it?

Please do let me know if you are successful or not, as I said I’ve changed things drastically and I could very well have a bug somewhere.

Hi Ben, just yesterday I had a fun time drawing on your creator, but today the website isn’t showing up for me. All I get is just a gray screen. I’m not sure if it’s my computer, browser (chrome), or something else. I was hoping to see if you may have any insight, I can’t wait to get back at it!

Kyle, thanks for the feedback and kind words. You are right, I never got smoothing right 🙂 You might be interested to know that I am in the process of rewriting the whole mandalagaba code base (http://ben.akrin.com/?p=5936), and I did get smoothing right there. It will be replacing the current site in 1 to 2 weeks, I’m pretty close to being done.

Always super glad to get user feedback! Take care.

Hey Ben. This is a really amazing tool, I use it to de-stress and relax after the day. I don’t think the smooth factor works the way it should. Right now it creates smooth lines but they are practically straight with a slight curve at the end. It cannot be used to make long curves or any real shape other than a line. This is something that I would like to see change with this.

It’s a great website by the way. I really love it!

I just found this. I played with it a little but I can already see that this is going to be amazingly fun. I have been coloring mandalas for months and I’m wanting to create my own. Thank you so much for creating this. Kitty

In reply to Jonathan. Still trying to make up my mind :) It's not really a matter of if, it's more a matter of when. A note definitely helps tilt the balance.

Do you plan to open source this? Would be interesting to look at the code

In reply to Fruitbat. Fruitbat, thanks for letting me know, I've definitely been keeping an ear out for what people are after :) So export to SVG is on the radar but it's one of these features that, without initial research, I don't even know if I can pull it off. So it is to be evaluated but I can't promise anything. I'll let you know if it sees the light of the day.

Hi Ben,

I really like what you have created. Is there any possibility of adding export to SVG functionality? I’d happily donate / gift a beer.

Thank you.

In reply to Srikrishna. Thank you for letting me know, comment on blog is all the bug tracking I have for now :) This is now fixed. Thanks again!

Hi Ben,

This is a wonderful piece of software. I have spent quite sometime playing with it. Very meditative and exciting! Thank you for building this.

But I believe there is a bug with the undo button related to number of axes. Recreate: I used 12 as the number of axes, drew something, changed axis to 6, and drew something else. At this point, I wanted to undo, and this made my original drawing also to be repeated & mirrored across only 6 axis. Please let me know if you have another place where you are tracking bugs so that I can remove this comment and post this there.

Thanks again for building a really cool no-frills software!

Hi, Ben.
First of all, I like your Mandala maker. It is very fun to use; I do have a few suggestions for you.
1). Being able to click on the click and change the number in the field rather than having to click the sliders on the axis and thickness.
2). Being able to type in a code for the color to get the exact color instead of trying to get as ‘close as possible.’
3). Adding an option to create shapes and curves.

Thank you for your hard work on creating a nice program!
