Diving in and learning more about SVGs makes me want an app that allows you to see and edit both the code and the bezier points/paths. Does such a thing exist?

Of course I didn’t spend an inordinate amount of time making the dot on the i of this SVG blink just because the idea popped into my head and I had to prove to myself that I could figure it out and avoid doing work that needs to be done. Don’t be ridiculous. […]
