2013 on SketchPort

We made a lot of changes in 2013, and we’re proud of the amazing art created by all of you. We look forward to inspiring you to draw in 2014.

A special thanks to our Pro users for helping support us.

Here’s a short list of the changes we made during the year.

  • We released a mobile app for Android and iOS.
  • The site was redesigned with pretty icons.
  • We updated chat, and added a chat bot that can translate, find images, and show maps.
  • We created the SketchPort draw and guess game.
  • We added broadcast mode to allow you to watch and broadcast drawings in real time.
  • We made official t-shirts and added easy canvas printing.
  • We started this blog.
  • We made lots of tweaks and performance improvements.

In total, 217,767 lines of code were added, and 210,971 lines of code were deleted at all days of the week and times of day, except 7-8 am. Weird.
