Dear Affinity-Team,
 
I've been working on a logo font where i use mostly bezier curves to define the look and after that expand to strokes... 
while I'm used to clean expanded strokes/curves... within Illustrator for instance, in Affinity Designer the created points are quite a lot if not messy?! 
 
This is even more problematic (also slows down the app considerably) with SVG/EPS Exports. (see attached files)
Optimising / simplify curves/strokes could be helpful.. in that case. As well just a better conversation or maybe better conversation control.
 
Other than that is the Affinity Designer pretty nice!

Dear Affinity - Development Team
About the Artboards - nice to have them already (before of the release of Affinity Publisher that is...)!
 
Now the feedback...
While i generally like your approach with the Artboards there are two little issues...
 
1.
While you provide Artboard presets for mobile devices iPad Pro / iPad or iPhone 6/6+ or 5 or the various Apple Watch sizes...
i figure its a little hassle when you work with print / or generally various Artboards. I can't drop in just Letter/A4/A3 Artoboards etc but various resolutions for phones / web / etc.  
 
BUT I can workaround this by making a new document (A4/A5 what ever) and copy and paste that over to the other document... 
that isn't elegantly solved i guess..  So it would be nice to have at least the same options you provide within the 'New Document' dialog.
 
2. 
I might be good to provide an Artboard Panel that allows to save your own presets / sizes .. your random res for your ever changing electronics world! Also it would be nice to be able to have outside the Artboards just a paste area where you still can see your objects... 
 
Other than that...  the software is a blast to work with!
 
There is one last for fun.. :-)
Your 'stroke' > shape conversion is still a bit messy (especially paths)... (for instance when you design Font Letters and convert them to a shape in order to export them to SVG/EPS or just over to Glyphs (a software for font creation))

Hello Anon223029,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
We are aware of those limitations with the Expand Stroke command. This will be improved soon.
