This guy's life would change radically with the 30min LA to SF Hyperloop.


that's really sad, it would still take me 1hr to get from east bay to svl (via private shared transit :))


No. If you buy a downloads pack, you have to use them within 12 months. After that period, they expire.

But once the illustrations are downloaded, you can use them as long as you want.

edit: for clarity


Perhaps you should say "Must be downloaded within 12 months; perpetual license lets you use them for as long as you want."


Indeed good point, thanks for that!


We clearly did not expect such a traffic from HN. The download requests are stuck for the moment, sorry for that! We're working on it.


Cool! Currently we don't have the tools to accept requests automatically. Still, we're closely monitoring the search terms/expressions users make that return no (or close to no) results.

We try to be as reactive as possible, so feel free to contact us (bottom left of sidebar) and ask for what you need!


The app still needs a lot of error handling love. Thank you for the report.


Indeed, we had to came up with a pricing based on the few customers/users we already have. But I agree that the gap may seem inaccurate.


Thank you! We're currently working with a few designers in private but we're working on tools that would enable designers to upload packs of .svg graphics and make them automatically customizable on our platform.

I'm having a hard time trying to reproduce the modal bug although you're not the first one to report the issue. I'm working on it!

edit: typo


For what it's worth, I just checked and the pricing dialog works now.


Weird. Thanks anyway :)


Also ran into the pricing modal issue when I clicked through to one of the designs [1]. Using OSX Chrome 50.0.2661.102

It should be fixed by now :)


Looks good.


Thank you for the feedback. The percentages stuff is my favorite too. And you're right, I'm moving down the arrow CTA :)


We've built a CSS based language to enable designers to easily make their SVG graphics dynamic and customizable. You're right though, it makes no sense to put it there while it's pending, I'm removing it. Thanks for asking!


Can you tell us your rationale for patenting this "CSS-based language"?


Wouldn't it be the same rationale for any patent? To protect your intellectual property?


Well sure, but obtaining a patent is no small thing (if done seriously). So I'm curious why they feel it's so important to protect this.

Basically I'm wondering if it's just a purely defensive move, (maybe an investor asked them to file a patent or whatever), or whether they are aiming for a business model where people create things using a language that they control and can obtain fees for its use.

Of course they don't have any reason to share this info with us at this point.


I thought software patents weren't a thing any more...


Indeed thank you! edit: Are you referring to the placeholder "Your company email..." in the signup modal? If it's the case, we're planning on creating a color scheme automatically from the company's logo. Currently, it can be done by picking colors manually from any logo the Clearbit API can find. Try to create a new color scheme :)


Maybe I didn't spot the word 'email' in "Your company email..." but I swear it just said "Your company"...
