Does it work for everyone in Firefox? For me it doesn't draw anything, nor does it open any of the menus (just clicks work). In Chrome everything works perfectly for me.

#52It's missing the zoom bug, which lets you zoom all the way to 10x by clicking just under the 8x button. Personally I was very fond of that.

#53I never got people's love of MS Paint. There is so little it could do, and it didn't always want.to play nice with modern image formats.

#54I haven't used Windows as a primary OS for years. I miss having MSPaint around for small edits, and have yet to find a suitable replacement. Other apps either have too few features (e.g. Preview) or too many (GIMP), or the interface doesn't feel right. It might just be because I'm used to it after using it for years when I was younger, but MSPaint's interface just makes sense, and it hits the sweet spot of features f…
> I see there's a Chrome app, but the link is broken ( https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dgfedgcofbjmeohonb... ) I think Chrome apps were deprecated a few weeks/months ago.
Chrome apps are still a thing, chrome packaged apps were deprecated (unless you're on Chrome OS), so the type of chrome app that remains is essentially just a bookmark distributed through an app store.
You're not missing out on anything by that link being broken.

#55The UI and behavior is amazingly close to the real thing. But I cannot help but sigh when the brush tool lags more than Paint lagged on a 233 MHz Celeron. I really think this is an awesome project, but I am old enough (30) to remember fast performing GUI apps and I don't know if I'll ever "get over" losing them. edit: hopefully it is an inefficient implementation and not the inherent slowness of web apps.
One thing I noticed is that it doesn't draw zoomed-in images correctly - pixels are blurry. Didn't check if this is Canvas or WebGL, but something in the code begs being changed from LINEAR to NEAREST. (EDIT: turns out to be a Firefox issue; Chrome shows the sweet pretty pixels correctly.) > I really think this is an awesome project, but I am old enough (30) to remember fast performing GUI apps and I don't know if I'…
The canvas tag has `image-rendering: pixelated;` set, but Firefox currently doesn't support the setting right now. [0]
Are you able to try it in Chromium? I set the property on the canvas to `-moz-crisp-edges` in Nightly and that fixed it.

It doesn't take very long at all to get familiar with basic Gimp features. The investment in time is minimal and worth it. You could probably figure how to do everything you can do in MSPaint in Gimp in 20-30 minutes.

#57Neat, there's a multi-user mode: http://jspaint.ml/#session:test
I just opened a multi-user mspaint session on my phone. The future is now.

Works fine for me, Firefox 57.0.4 on Linux.

Yes, but it can take as much as a minute to open GIMP, which is a lot to ask when you can be working on the same task in MSPaint in a second or two.
