Big social apps make images hard to make. Big art apps make sharing an afterthought. DoodleBug owns the middle — create in-product, remix lightly, publish fast, discover without comment-thread noise.
Posting a hand-drawn doodle should feel as easy as posting a tweet. DoodleBug is a single-function, judgement-light social network for sketches made in the browser — attention on the drawing, not the profile. No app store, no layer stack, no Procreate clone. Just ink, a feed, and light social feedback.
The product surface is restyled dark: pink wordmark, glow-led Doodle! CTAs, paper canvas in a black hall. Open the studio and draw with nine tools — skinny / sharpie / jumbo markers, pen, pencil, highlighter, paintbrush, gap-tolerant vector fill, and eraser — plus a small palette with favorite swatches. Undo/redo, tip-local stroke radius, zoom, full-canvas expand, and a Get Doodling! overlay keep the chrome teachable without burying Draw.
Publish with an optional caption. New work goes followers-only until an AI Webmaster clears it for public — creators never sit on a wall, and stuck reviews escalate to a human queue. Safe stays public; adult leaves public surfaces but remains in the creator’s gallery; hate and harassment trigger hard account action.
From there the loop compounds: like, follow, remix someone else’s strokes into yours, answer a daily prompt, and browse Gallery with All / Popular, search, and Latest / Most likes. Share or download a PNG when a doodle earns it. Profiles stay a doodle grid — handmade identity, not stock.
Constraint is still the product. A fixed 4:3 canvas and a bounded toolkit keep a level playing field and keep the loop fast enough to share without turning into a design suite.
