I am wondering if there are any existing NLP techniques that reduce a verbose explanation to simple statements. Not sure.
svigraham··on Show HN: Weekend Project - Create Simple Android mockup
This is awesome. Maybe, you can store the current elements coordinates to prevent overlapping on top of each other when you click multiple elements at the same time. Not a biggie. Love it.
