Klad releases early public version for human-agent collaborative drawing
What happened
Drawing and animation app Klad released an early public version with source code available, as reported on the Hacker News front page on November 12, 2026. Users can draw on the same canvas as coding agents such as Claude Code and Codex, which join through a CLI, with both sides' strokes synced in real time. The app has no image model; it keeps editable stroke, shape and fill data, supports animation, and exports to Godot. Source is on GitHub at klad-app/klad, with a guide at klad.studio.
