Well that's brilliant!  I've never used computer software for this (or needed to) but I've always thought it would probably be a pain in the rear to use software to draw symbols at odd angles, like for a round doily.  And a ruler won't go obsolete like a program might with a new OS, or underlying software like Flash no longer being supported...

I saw it mentioned in my last Crochet World magazine that arrived yesterday.  Sounded handy as you said software gets outdated and for those that like making their own symbol charts it's pretty nifty.

This might work for someone like me too. I haven’t learned to read/write patterns yet but someone had asked me how I made something (I started from a YouTube video but changed it a bit) and I had to draw a whole diagram with a key and everything. She said I did pretty good. It made sense at least 😂
