I'm amazed. This webapp even supports opening files via dragging them from the desktop or Windows Explorer. This fact alone makes it more "native" than most (all?) UWP applications.

#22The most valuable thing to me about MS Paint is the ability to print screen, CROP the largely extraneous material, and post, embed, or transmit the result. Where is crop? I am not interested in the drawing with a bar of soap aspect. At all.
Something like lightscreen or snipping tool might be what you’re looking for.

Paint didn’t have the ability to crop to a selection until the Windows 7 redesign of the app with its ribbon UI (not sure about the Vista version of Paint, which is halfway between the XP and the 7 versions); JS Paint has copied the XP and earlier design, not the newer. You can still crop, but only from the bottom or right, because you’re using the canvas resize handles instead.
Concerning your specific task: I’d say the Snipping Tool (built-in from at least Windows 7 onwards) is generally superior for that sort of thing anyway. Its biggest problem is slow start-up.

#24Funny but I would really appreciate a good Paint.Net remake (usable on Mac, Linux and OpenBSD) more.

#25Neat, there's a multi-user mode: http://jspaint.ml/#session:test
It's currently being destroyed. It's AWESOME

#26Earlier quoted context omitted.
Have you tried mtpaint? http://mtpaint.sourceforge.net/
mtPaint has pretty poor usability compared to MS Paint. ReactOS has its own Paint, I wonder... it may be simple to compile it through winelib, or just run it directly via Wine. That'd be a pretty quick and legal way to get a functionally-identical clone.
Mmmm this works fine in MacOS (I did it years ago with the MS Paint binary).

#27Where is crop? To me, the most valuable tool in MS Paint. What? Did you think I used it for “drawing with a bar of soap?”
You can select a section, copy it, create a new image, and paste it.

#28Today the author added support for transparency, and thereby also shift+left-click brushes from current selection. My most favourite MS Paint feature. https://github.com/1j01/jspaint/issues/23#issuecomment-35851...

#29Aww. I selected an area then tried to use the arrow keys to translate one pixel at a time. Didn't work :(
Then I tried to cut and paste. No go.
Still, very promising!
