The first thing candlestick or any fork should add is FOLDERS, yes folders because i use alot of layers and i need to be organzized and yeah and the second thing they should add grid snapping because why not and also it could be useful for things like animation vs minecraft or something like that. and last and not least BRUSHES yes just make a feature where u could make a raster layer(bitmap) and then u have brushes and make sure u can import ur custom brushes as a png.
This 
. I’m really unorganized with layers and folders would help a lot
I also REALLY do want the brush feature too since i do change brushes a lot from time to time. there’s also a little brush demo i found in GitHub that have square brushes, and the stamp feature as well! https://github.com/Wicklets/WickBrush?tab=readme-ov-file

yes ive been wanted folders for ever
this is decent but i want something like moho
I’m sorry to tell you this, but they NEVER used the code in the demo inside Wick. It’s just a library for other people to be able to make brushes in drawing features.

WHEN WILL THEY ADD BRUSHES(clear)

Currently, it’s actually very plausible… If a new widget and file format is made just for Wick.
ummmm that made no sense
What part may I explain better?
the widget thing and plausible thing I don’t know wdym by that
plus what widgets ur talking about
Widgets (also called Components), are pieces of interface that are packaged and re-used A LOT.
The word Widgets is commonly used in bigger components, such as color pickers, topbars or menus.
While components are used for simpler things such as buttons, input fields and more.
If you want examples of what components look like, visit this website:

improved brushes are part of our internal list we hope to add but i don’t know how feasible it is to add.
apps that have all the fancy brushes are usually raster-based, meaning the visuals are stored as pixels. however candlestick is vector-based, and it’s definitely going to stay that way.
if we are to add nice brushes, we would either need to make the brushstrokes still vector-based (which is a huge waste of computer resources) or integrate raster canvases in a vector environment (which is a lot to figure out).

yeah maybe add something called raster layers and vector layers so maybe it should make a popup saying raster or vector or make seperate buttons
ohhhh widgets yeah I thought ur talking about widgets on my iPhone or apple watch
oh and to address the WickBrush thing, we have seen it but we never had the time to look into how it really works.
from the demo alone though, it appears that the opacity has to be the same throughout the entire brushstroke, which kinda ruins the point of having cool, textured brushes. if this turns out to be the case then it’s not really worth adding those brush variants because of how little payoff there is. (like, what good is there in coding a square brush when it doesn’t look that different from a circle and 99.99% of people won’t care about it?)

thats a bummer… 🥲 hopefully you guys can find a way to add unique brushes sometime in the future
