Hello there,
Hope you're doing well! As I mentioned in last month's email, I've been thinking about what I want to do with Brush Ninja this year, and I've got some exciting plans for the next few months.
First off, I'll be taking care of the usual bug fixes and improvements—keeping things running smoothly is always a top priority.
I'm also planning to do a bit of work on my art app, Paint Ninja, adding a couple of new features. More news will come as I make some progress!
Next up, I'm building something new: a whole new website called NinjaGifs! The idea is to create a free hub for animated gifs that you can easily add to your own websites or social media, and these gifs will all be made with Brush Ninja.
This means a couple of cool things. For me, it's a chance to spread the word about Brush Ninja and hopefully bring in more users—which is great! But for you, it means I'll be spending more time creating animations, which will lead to finding and fixing more bugs, as well as adding new features to make animating with Brush Ninja even better.
I'm also planning to add a “suggest a gif” feature where anyone can propose new gif ideas for me to make. It might be a bit chaotic if I get flooded with requests, but honestly, I think it'll be fun—and a great way to push my own animation skills further!
World Teachers' Day
Did you know that today (Saturday, October 5th) is World Teachers' Day? Well, now you do!
Teachers are amazing, and Brush Ninja wouldn't be where it is today without them. I have so much respect for teachers—watching my own child go through school has given me a fresh perspective on how much they do. To all the teachers out there, thank you for your incredible work!

And hey, if you've created any animations with Brush Ninja, I'd love to see them! Share your work on social media and use the #brushninja hashtag so everyone can enjoy your creations.
Until next time,
Ben
