It should be clearer how to close a line now, we render a closing point and update the cursor to be a pointer

Similarly making some improvements to the freehand tool based on feedback - easier to figure out how to close and a generally smoother drawing experience

Published some documentation today - hopefully this should help with people getting started!

Great project! I’m a huge fan of cross-product interfaces. Reminds me of Mapstraction mapstraction.com (now defunct) What’s necessary to bind to ArcGIS JS Library?

Thanks Andrew! Yes a couple of folks brought mapstraction to my attention - funny how ideas come back around 😅 I imagine it wouldn't be super complex to get ArcGIS JS working - similar to the Google Maps adapter that has been written:
