Have you ever tried to explain something over the internet that doesn’t translate well into words (like a specific route on a map, the layout of a building etc.) and you also can’t find a good picture on the internet showing what exactly you mean? Then just use that site to doodle a sketch. It is free of charge, doesn’t require a registration/verification/whatever or extra software, and the sketches seem to stay online forever.
I have an online roleplaying group that relies solely on chat / texts and this site has helped me numerous times to demonstrate the layout of a tavern, camp or dungeon, to show what in-game items look like and/or how big they are, and to add easy-to-understand visuals to in-game puzzles that would otherwise be hard to describe verbally.
Any way to self host this? I don’t want some rando hosting that server to own the art I make on there.
Edit: I just read their terms of service and they indeed own the shit you draw on there and sell it to third parties. Fuck this noise.
Paper. You can use paper and take a picture with your phone.
