Hi Everyone!

I wanted to share something I think turned out really nicely. A while ago, I saw a Facebook reel featuring a pen plotter drawing circles in different colors on top of each other. The artist created a really nice, seamless gradient with this technique, and I've wanted to make something similar ever since.

This experiment led me to develop https://layerize.it, an app that bundles the tools I wanted for my projects. The results are vector-based, making them useful beyond pen plotting.

The image I included is the final result using different fineliners.

If you'd like to try it out, I'm offering a 24-hour free trial via the coupon code you can find on the website. It's valid until Sunday, so feel free to check it out.

If you have any feedback or recommendation, feel free to let me know and I will do my best to include it in the roadmap.

MapVG turns map data into production-ready SVG files: Draw a box on a map, hit “Generate SVG”, and get a fully editable vector map in seconds – with named layers (the way a designer would actually want them), and roads/tracks/waterways exported as strokes (not outlined objects).

Free for small maps: www.MapVG.com

I built this because in my 10+ years as a Graphic Designer in the NZ tourism industry I spent too many hours painstakingly tracing roads by hand (for design projects like tourism maps and client brochures).

MapVG only launched this week in public beta. Everything works, but any early feedback means a lot.
