## Description

Lorien is a cross-platform vector drawing application built with Godot. It functions as a vector graphics editor and a pressure-sensitive sketchbook for creating freehand drawings and geometric shapes.

The application features an infinite canvas whiteboard with a boundless workspace, infinite zoom, and coordinate grids. It supports drawing tablets through pressure sensitivity to vary stroke thickness and opacity, and it includes a system for exporting drawings into the standardized SVG format.

The software provides tools for vector sketch creation and brush stroke editing, managed via a command-pattern history stack for undo and redo operations. It also includes multi-document organization to maintain project structure across separate files.
