magma app (pleeaseee so many people want thisss)

as of today, magma is a browser only website I will heavily enjoy an app you can download here are some reasons
1.you will be able to use the app even with no internet
- beginners often just go to the app store and search the drawing app get the first thing they see and then regret not getting familiar with another app
3.compenies or even magma can create drawing tablets with a very low profile that run Linux based only magma (aware of the slim chances)
- most important devices will work with no messing around with pressure sensitivity
- transitioning app store/ windows store currency to magma tokens

We have a beta version ready. We want to get some initial adoption and feedback before getting out of beta.

Damian Kaczmarek Tried it out and it is pretty nice, unlike in the browser version the quality of my drawings doesn't reduce when I zoom out.
Though I dont know if its something I did wrong but when I leave my board open for a while the tab would just go completely blank and I'd have to open the board again.
I feel like this could have its uses for people, being able to use magma without having the browser out, but the fact that I still need internet to use it makes it kind of useless for me.
If it was just a simpler version of magma that I could just use for the drawing program, that'd be worth paying for imo.

the Boi: Thanks for the feedback! We will look into the tab going blank.
As for offline mode, Magma has been built with server infrastructure in mind. Building a completely offline version would be extremely difficult for us at this point.

We may publish an App but it will not have an offline mode,

Damian Kaczmarek Awesome!
Offline mode helps with limited data especially when drawing outside. I tried magma once with just mobile data and it consumed 2-3 gigabytes in a 2-hour session on a 1920x1080 canvas. A buffer could work... like a "draw first upload later when connect to a Wi-Fi" feature.

Would make it really easy to open instantly and not require me to open chrome (bad)
