This is awesome! I miss MS Paint. So much easier for markup.
One nit though, they should add a few sleep() in there so it feels like my old PC. :)

#42Ah, this could be used as the missing paint in macOS. Even taking a screenshot and dragging it inside the browser works as expected. Is there an easy wat to turn this into an app that can live locally? Paint is the only thing I miss about Windows.

Specifically for screenshot markup, I recommend using flameshot ( https://flameshot.js.org/#/ ). It allows you to markup the screenshot right as you take it.
Flameshot is sluggish and bloated. If you want the same functionality and more, but fast, try Shutter.
Do either of those work under Wayland? Or only X11?

#44I had originally assumed this was some sort of webassembly port of the actual Microsoft Paint source code. But it looks like a completely custom JavaScript app built from the ground up to look and work very similarly to Microsoft Paint. That’s actually super impressive, although not quite the technological feat I had originally assumed. It does make this more dubious from a trademark perspective, the author might wan…

#46Oh wow, there's a lot of attention to detail. The application menu looks perfect and is a lot snappier than I thought it would be for an HTML5 app.
On the other hand-- why do the toolbar buttons only trigger on mouseup? I thought they triggered on mousedown on the original MS Paint.

Are there not image manipulation programs on macOS to your liking?
The advanced once are phenomenal but when I need something very simple Preview or Markup doesn't cut it and the advanced ones are overkill. For example, I want to create a very basic image where I would use other images and screenshots and I would cover something to hide, resize some of the images I use and put a few words of text to indicate something. This is so very easy in MS Paint. The app will open in 0.1s, you…
Pixelmator’s alright

#48Maybe this is false memory, but did old MSPaint have a "feature" where if you are holding down the left click button to draw with the pencil tool or something, and then you scroll the scroll-wheel, it creates a bunch of vertical lines along where you are drawing? I was sad that this didn't have that.

#49Photoshop in JavaScript: https://www.photopea.com/ I use it all the time, amazing it was created by a single person!
That is actually super useful. I've already migrated diagrams to draw.io, and now I can do the same for simple photo editing. Super useful for work too, since a webpage is much easier than installing a program.

Windows XP? :P
