Sketch'd allows you to draw anything, then animate and share it

Two teens have created the world's first iOS application that allows you to draw stuff that you can then animate with your fingers and share with others as a looping video.

Hitting Vine where it hurts while taking cues from simple sketching apps, Sketch'd is currently up on Kickstarter, as it needs money to turn into a real app.

You might ask yourself, “why on Earth would you need to raise cash for an app? All you need is your brain and Xcode (which you can get for free).” Well, that’s only partially true in this case, because Sketch'd isn’t the type of app that gets coded overnight.

According to the teenage duo behind Sketch’d (Christopher Jones, 19, and Catherine Van Orden, 15), “While we have a team, we can't do this without some extra help.”

“We need your funds to continue development of the animation/drawing system, search feature, commenting feature, smiling feature, sharing feature, and sketch featuring system,” according to Chris and Cathy.

So if you find their idea charming, get over there and help 'em out. By the looks of it, it's going to be tight.
