[Some ideas for improve AD]

Hey Affinity,

i am writing to you to propose you add some features to your software. First please apologise me for mistakes, i'm french. Here is some ideas for Affinity Designer :

• the possibility of rotate the guides. For example, to make by himself typographic design.
• setting option : the possibility of grip (for example) squares and rectangles with guides like now, with turned guides.
• the possibility of export guides with design. Useful to export geometrical construction of a logo design.
• new tool : a shape builder-like. The geometrical tools (booleans operations) is the most incomprehensible part in AD for me. I think (and I see that a lot of users ask for this) a shape builder tool could a more simple aspect of AD. I love to make design with ease on AD , so I believe that a feature like a shape builder, wich don't cut shapes but, maybe gather shapes together and create a mask on them. Like on AI but without cutting and non-move back possibilities.
• the possibility of class fonts by classes, with files wich you can rename (like handwriting fonts, gothic, pro fonts...) it's  hard to scroll down to repair all the fonts which do well with your idea/project. A simple tree or files system for example could be really useful.
• maybe harder to develop, import the vector design with Stock from Pixabay with nodes so as to we can modify the curves. (By the way, Stock is a great feature :) )

I hope this ideas will be able to improve your software. Anyway I wish for your future tackle to big Adobe corporation. Have a good day :)
