An Inkscape Programmer - Intro

Hi everyone! I'm still off, but I've needed to redo my introduction video for a long time. I've learned so much in the last two years and I think I can do both the video production and the arguments justice today, and lay out why you should sponsor my Inkscape work on Patreon.

This video appears on my patreon main page and replaces the previous one from 2020.

Thank you Martin! Your work is pushing Inkscape forward for all of us.

I like the idea of getting graphic designers and artists involved in developing inkscape

I am glad to see that this channel is growing in followers and views.

It's really good to see there's people behind the project who want inkscape to be a great tool. Thanks Martin and team. I enjoy the last version 1.2 it's very fast.

[BarbaraTostes]

I will collaborate there! Thanks for everything, Martin!

Mr. Owens can you write a book about how the inkscape source code works. The book should explain how the algorithms work

I love this new version. Very mature program.
I've just noticed a "bug". When exporting the SVG as a PNG and you have to resize the image, the numbers don't change on the "Export" menu. To see the new size you have to unselect and select the image again. It used to be real time.

Hello Martin! I have to say first thanks for all your amazing work.
If I may give you some note that I have been picking up by watchin your videos.
2) I would cut 00:28 till 01:49 or move to the end of the video becuse this is not the most relevant part of your video (and you can see that you are a bit exhausted talking about this subject).

I can go on if you want, but I feel like I'm writing more then needed in a youtube comment. If you like and want I can keep going, just let me know.

How can I donate without giving my address? When I tried to donate by PayPal, it required my address so I cancelled the donation. When I donate annually to Wikipedia, it does NOT require my address. Martin, thanks for you hard work.

I loved the idea of inkscape, and would've happily contribute to join the conversation few years ago. Unfortunately my designing days are behind me.
May I suggest a cryptocurrency option? I know lots of designers that prefer self banking over paypal and traditional money.
