A visual editor built for manga workflows.
Text detection, text recognition, translation, and editing built into a single, GPU-accelerated visual workspace. Early development. No launch date.
What we’re building first
Manga-first workflow
A practical pipeline for manga localization: text detection, text recognition, translation, and layout-aware editing in one place.
High-quality 2D vector editing
A modern 2D vector engine focused on precision, performance, and large documents forming the foundation of the editor.
GPU-accelerated raster & brushes
Early raster and brush tooling designed for sketching, annotations, and AI-assisted workflows.
Node-based systems
Node graphs for processing, materials, and automation introduced gradually where they add real leverage.
Color, tokens & export
Early support for color, tokens, and practical export paths for print and web workflows.
Optional 3D reference layers
Basic 3D model layers for reference and layout when spatial context is useful.
Performance-first rendering
A rendering architecture focused on fast interaction and predictable performance across complex documents.
Technical direction
Built in Rust with WebGPU, enabling high performance across different operating systems and devices.
