MPRUN is a free and open source 2D vector graphics editing software that assists Ski and Snowboard athletes in the competition planning process. It runs on MacOS and Windows, and its source code is publicly hosted on GitHub[3]. MPRUN's features include a drag and drop editor, Bézier curve drawing tools, a labelling system, raster graphics editing, iCloud integration to send drawings to Apple Devices, Python scripting, and a 3D viewer to see drawings in 3D.

History

[edit]

MPRUN was developed in late January of 2024 by snowboard athlete Keller Hydle[4]. It was created initially to help athletes draw their competition runs by using a process called Physical Visualization. Physical Visualization is the process of taking something normally visualized in the brain and putting it on a physical object (like a piece of paper).[5] The name MPRUN was made short for "My Perfect Run", symbolizing how athletes can create their "perfect" competition runs.[6] Some design choices and tools for MPRUN were inspired by other common vector graphics editors, such as Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape, and even Canva. It was designed keeping the 80/20 Rule in mind, focusing on usability over a large set of tools.[7]
