Cool. I've been playing around with a new back-end; I started
with a neural net that was being trained on points and slopes,
but that approach didn't work all that well (it got overtrained
way too easily). So I'm working on the angle-solving problem
you discussed on Wiki; I have a potential fast fp-free solution
that I'm testing. Vectorization is still a little sketchy, but
having a front end that I could just plug into would be really
nice.

Inking is pretty slow w/ fscrib, maybe an ink-free option for
people who'd rather just remember the stroke in their head would
make sense? Just tossing out ideas.

Tight gtk integration like this would also be excellent.
