TRSI ex-coder Spider/T-Bone is back with a vengeance with his newest release, GfxEditor.com, a brilliant web-app for creating graphic design.

category: residue [glöplog]
btw. vistaprint.com has some nifty magnetic "stickers" that can be put on cars etc.

cheap and cool advertising :)
Still a bit pointless...

"Being the only person involved in the development of this product was tuff. I developed my own Rich Internet Application Framework (RIA) and distributed file system as well along the way, so it took a while, but it gave me a lot of creativity freedom and performance. The size of the Flash 8 code is around 800 kb, so it's very light weight.


It is 'tough' not 'tuff'. ;-)

Done, changing to "tough".

Keep them comming, thank you!

I'll be rewarding users here with 1 year Premium subscription codes... At some point soon, I'll be posting codes here... Each code can be used 1 time, so its about being fast typing them in the Subscription page under Account...

Its not allowed to apply more then 1 code per account! If you do it, I'll ban you from the system for 3 months.
Thats some tuff love right there.

In general, I don't really get the point of web apps, sorry :-/

Is it a scene app? It is more like a promotion of it here.
And teh idea behind promotional codes and banning is lame... Give a bunch of them for those who eventually want to test your tool... for you.

Sure you can buy tshirt and shoes, directly from my supplier as well, www.zazzle.com, But... on top of Zazzle's system, using their API, I have built the best web-based application for making graphic design and DTP work, and best bitmap image/vector editor for drawing and painting on Cavas... IT'S THE BEST IN THE WORLD, the only one with a button next to the canvas for buying and previewing the design on the merchandise...

I have a challenge for you guys. If you can proof the existence off another place that beat my tool in the stuff I say its unbeatable, I'll transfer $150 to you via Paypal.

Now lets me see them competition... Not nerveus at all.. You wont find nothing... Some may have nice looking website, but the tool is primitive in comparisson to my, but I give, they are great for doing simple image manipulation :)
bla bla bla, ever heard of a thing called "photoshop"?

it looks like the "unlimited detail" version of caffeepress.

Zplex, that's actually pretty cool, although somewhat pointless? But I believe you didn't win since it does not have a "print to t-shirt" button.

I would guess that anyone who spends hours on creating a design can spare the 20 seconds it takes to save it to his local disk and upload it to cafepress.

ok, taking back that remark about it being useless. Sumo paint is actually pretty nice, compared to gimp.

It seems that Aviary can do t-shirts.

seems like a nice enough idea. no idea if it's been done before. only you need to severely strip the system down and simplify its interface. i doubt any professional designer would use such a system, and amateurs that might would run a mile the moment they see that complicated ui.

Some of us are still in the stone ages, it would be nice if the website fit on a lowly 1024x768 display.

Well, I hope the software is unbeatable at making people buy it.

reading the beginning of the title, i would have sworn it's all about a new rap album!

I was very put off by the WORLDEST MOST AWESOMEST NEVER SEEN B4 rhetoric, but I guess the sort of semihumble downplayed attitude is a bit scene newschool :p

Activation email was unreadable at my temporary account at wh4f.org, probably due to some fancy encoding. Can there be an option to receive it as something more resembling pure ASCII please? :)
added on the 2010-05-09 09:44:45 by El Topo El Topo
Activation email is in html, so I hope your email client can deal with that... At least enough for you to see the activation code?

Many of you are criticizing the website design, fair enough, I'm no "Mr. can do it all perect", but I can change the html fast after receiving input from users the designer I hire... Html changes and easy to do, doing the Editor was the hard part...

You still have not found a better online tool than mine... And it's pretty obvious you won't find any because I have spent 5 years doing it, and nobody else have had my idea of putting a merchandise shop next to the Camvas, but I guess copy will show up, but not this year... GfxEditor hard to copycat.

Not to be bragging but I'm a pretty hardcore coder, been coding since age of 13. I was an Amiga demo coder for 6 years, a games coder for 5 years, a website coder for 6 years, and a GfxEditor coder for 5 years :)

I'm no graphic artist so I need help to improve the website design, but thats easily done, lots of great firms/people out there to help me with that. And I'm counting on my users and forum writers like you to come with great suggestions as well, so soon enough I'll have a stronger product, this is just beta!

You all know that, in demo coding, its all about showing off your skills.. I have been doing that for years, been competing and having fun in the demoscene, been rewarded as well... This is my latest release, so who beats my coding? The $150 challenge is still waiting for a winner :)
I had typed a lengthy reply why your attitude and business approach won't get you anywhere. Unfortunately I lost it when accidentally clicked the "back" button (screw you pouet).

Well, most of it was pretty obvious to anyone with a clear mind.

If you want to get anywhere you need to other people on board - people with a clear business mind. Developing anything alone in a one man team is a sure recipe for fail. Taking 5 years (staying in stealth mode) for the initial roll out of any web product is insane. Really, no investor cares about the quality of your code.

I doubt it would take more than month to roll out basic merchandise shop integration into, for example, sumopaint. There may be reasons for them not to do it: Losing focus in the core qualities of their product, avoiding to be stuck with a single vendor, no vendor offering an acceptable deal for them, ...

i'm sure there is some serious effort behind this, but to be honest, this thing will go down the drain. face it: people who just want to have their logo on a tshirt go to their country-local tshirt printing website, upload + apply it somewhere and hit the order button. superfast print and delivery because its local.

people who know what they're doing simply fire up their CS, design it and print it with the same service mentioned above.

no one would spend some more time to learn a new tool just for that and finally buy it from ONE website where they're tied to.

last but not least, i wanted to try it but having no guest-account or sth where you simply can play around stopped me from visiting the site. plus the design should be more user friendly.

sorry, but you should spend serious time to work on your marketing AND user interface.
