...I can think of a multitude of reasons why "no bloody way!", just wondering :)
In the meantime, if you do some work, then zoom in, then hit save, you'll end up with a much larger render :).
So yes-way, it's just a matter of time & feature priority and this one is a little on the niche side; although it did just get +1 vote :)
Good job!

Of course - I'm displaying my high proficiency as an "idiot in a hurry" and missed this, clearly linked: http://blog.mandalagaba.com/miscellaneous-ramblings/ !
You might recognize an article which hit HN back in march about turning your web traffic into a super computer :).
We maintain a feature update/changelog on there as well as a roadmap if you want to know what we are going to work on next.
One suggestion would be an automatic mode that arbitrarily generates art.
We thought about an automatic mode actually but still haven't put it on the to-do list.
One thing users can do though is replay their mandalas. This is how it works: 1) You draw your design. 2) You click on the "Session info" button. 3) Inside the session info pop-up, you click on the replay link. Here is a screenshot for good measure: https://imgur.com/XP4GNDT
We are re-structuring various sections of the interface to make that options more apparent.
Thanks!
Also sometimes the Undo button just doesn't do anything and gets stuck highlighted yellow. I'm not sure how to "unstuck" it and get undo to work, so instead I have to refresh and lose all the settings.
I always liked the idea of drawing with symmetries. maybe you will want to consider recursive drawing? I saw some apps like that for first time here in HN. the randomization at the start is also great, but I would love having some more conventional, handpicked palettes to choose, or maybe an easy mode more focused on the basic features only.
anyway, really cool!
I liked the triangles split into further regions. Ala http://www.mandalagaba.com/#ucKlDy
minor tech point: the automatic redirect is a bit annoying because it makes it difficult to navigate back (bad!)
I'll get around to it this evening :) thank you very much.

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property '0' of undefined at update_mouse_position (javascript.min.js:1) at HTMLCanvasElement.on_canvas_mouse_down (javascript.min.js:1) update_mouse_position @ javascript.min.js:1 on_canvas_mouse_down @ javascript.min.js:1
It works fine on macOS 69.0.3494.0 and 67.0.3396.99
Looking at the source, it wants to read a touch event whenever touch is supported (in update_mouse_position)-- but I'm using a mouse. Even though there's a touch screen, too :) (And using the touch screen, I can draw)
Either way, this is awesome - thank you for putting this together!
For folks with iPads, Procreate just released a similar feature (radial symmetry drawing)
Simply, the work is saved on the web server and the hash is what is used to refer to it.
Is that what you were after?
