Bump.
AppSeed seems like a straight-forward remake of PopApp. Not to say it's a rip, because it's clearly an idea that several people could've thought of independently from each other.

If people are interested in digging into this kind of thing, there are some very interesting papers on the subject:

One of the bigger chunks of funding has come from the U.S. military, which wants to let commanders sketch battlefield diagrams like they do on paper, but get computerized results, both for dissemination, and for use in things like simulations (where typical RTS interfaces are too foreign to be good for realistic wargaming): http://www.qrg.northwestern.edu/papers/files/forbususherchap... / http://www.cs.northwestern.edu/~gdunham/papers/nuwar-AIIDE05...

I was also thinking to add similar feature in my app Lekh Diagram (http://www.avabodh.com/lekh). I have not spent much time on this yet but, IMO the biggest challenge in doing sketch recognition is to resolve ambiguity on interpreting recognized shape/strokes . A hand drawn shape can be interpreted differently by different people and can be interpreted differently in different context. A computer program interpreting exactly what user has intention, is a challenging task. But I believe that a system can be build which will probably work 90% of time correctly.
Wishing good luck to these guys!!

I don't really understand projects like this on Kickstarter. It's a great concept - the demo looks awesome, etc. But it's a viable product. Why should I kickstart an app that will be a paid product after it's finished? I know folks use Kickstarter as a form of market validation, but I think the number of apps in this space already demonstrate that the market is valid.
Interesting, so pretty much like POP App[1] except it also does OCR to understand the sketches to speed up the process.

is it possible to link screens together? Like for instance, on the homepage screen, there is a login, and i have a seperate screen for login, so can it be linked together.
this app looks so much better than what is available at the moment. would really like to see an android version too

I found that using a tool like the pop app helps me focus on UI/UX without thinking in code. The 30 minutes or so I spent building out a wireframe has been a valuable time saver once I started coding.
