#22Does anyone actually use these web based drawing tools?
This is the exact question that I raise whenever I find a new one (and there seems to be many). Lots of people use Aviary but that is more a Photoshop sudo-replacement over a true "drawing app."
It would be great if someone did some deep traffic analysis on all of these.

#23Really bad title: new online drawing application from devianART. This sort of demo was shown before on here as part of HTML5 demos - but I don't think they claim to work with WACOM as this one claims to (via plugin). Really awesome. It's freemium, you can pay for extra brushes.
To clarify, the parent comment was posted when the title was “Quite amazing…”. The current title of “DeviantArt Muro” is better.

#24Nothing draws for me. Win7 64 IE8. Sigh.
IE9 beta ships in 2 weeks. Microsoft is finally going to get it right.

#25This is based on Harmony by MrDoob. Example: http://mrdoob.com/projects/harmony/ Fork on Github: http://github.com/mrdoob/harmony Its a great bit of work, the brush engine is simple to pick up too. I really wish deviantART would fork the github repo, its not a drastic departure from the current source. i'd love to see how the WACOM integration works! I wonder how many people have paid for the extras in the DA version…
What brings you to the conclusion that it's based on his work? In the source it says "© 2000-2010 deviantART, Inc. All rights reserved."
I also did pressure sensitive drawing for Colorillo: http://colorillo.com/blog/2010/07/pressure-sensitive-drawing...
What would you like to know about it?

#26Are there competitors to deviantart? Because I have seen them reign supreme for many years now and cant recall anyone being as successful in this market.
In the community aspect http://conceptart.org/forums/ was much better than deviantart (though they seem to have gotten much more commercial and I can't comment now as I haven't been there for quite a while).

There really doesn't seem to be any code re-use. Even MrDoob agrees: http://twitter.com/mrdoob/status/20933173931 :)
In particular, the brushes behave differently. Note how in Harmony the currently-drawn line interacts with old lines, whereas in dA's one it only interacts with its own current segment.

Looks like your right, i cant find many similarities in the code. I had heard from a very good source that it was directly based on Harmony, perhaps only in concept it seems!
Thanks for pointing this out. Currently eating my own hat.

I don't know if it can even really be said to be conceptually based on Harmony. They're certainly both drawing tools using Canvas, but that's like saying Photoshop is based on MS Paint because they're both drawing tools on Windows.
Harmony is all about the procedural generation of images by interaction with previously drawn points. dA muro doesn't really permit that at all... which is a shame, as that's a technique with really interesting applications

Stranger things have happened with the harmony source: http://mrdoob.com/blog/post/696
As for the WACOM integration, the docs here seem reasonably explanatory: http://www.wacomeng.com/web/release_notes.htm - thanks for the offer however :)
Just had a play with Colorillo, looks great!
