I just wondered how an alternate reach out could work, a drawing instead of a contact form or email button. This is one way to have people interact with you without any strings attached. So I built a small drawing tool, you sketch something, optionally leave your email, and it lands in my inbox.

The whole thing is pretty lightweight. HTML canvas with mouse and touch support, a color picker and brush size slider, and EmailJS handling the sending, no backend needed. The image gets base64 encoded and embedded straight in the email.

The "leave your email if you want a reply" step is optional. Low friction, but still opens a door for conversation if someone wants it.

Took a few iterations to get the styling to feel native to the site. The scribble icon for the color picker was a fun detail.
