What is it?

helixpaint.com is an oekaki microblogging platform.

Posts

Posts consist of a drawing created with helixpaint's drawing tool, plus several interaction buttons:

- let the creator know that you appreciate their work

- share another user's drawing

- create a new drawing in response to another drawing. This button is enabled by default.

- create a remix of someone else's drawing. This button is disabled by default.

... - edit your post. This button gives you a dropdown menu with options to disable/enable replies, disable/enable remix, and delete a post altogether. Once a post is deleted, its drawing will reappear in your drafts .

Users

Each user has their own profile, which can contain a nickname, link, and a short bio.

Follow other users to see their posts on your dashboard.

Messages

You can send a user a private message by pressing the button on their profile.

Block

You can block a user via their profile page. Blocked users won't be able to like, reshare, reply to or remix your posts. They also won't be able to follow you or send you private messages.

Bug reports

To file a bug report, DM @cherrvak on twitter. If you know my Discord/Urbit/phone number/personal email you can use that too I guess.
