Heh, I've been working with a friend on something similar for a couple of weekends, but it's not completely polished yet: http://awwapp.com/ (still a work in progress).

I made it because I couldn't find any decent full-screen drawing app for my tablet pc (which is NOT an iPad, so software is a problem), that both uses maximum of the screen real estate, and is touch friendly. So I wanted something that I could easily sketch on and then send/share the drawing result with someone.

(sorry for the bad "meetoo" form of the comment; I like the web whiteboarding/sketching, esp. now that tablets are more popular, and think it's great a lot of people are playing around with the concept).

so it's like MS paint, except worse? also, anyone can look through saved drawings by incrementing the drawing's ID in the URL. i think this was scrich's first penis drawing: http://scri.ch/0b

why am I not surprised.

in 2007 i was working on "paintbrush.es" which was basically this. (i was too cheap to spring for "dra.ws" which costs $1k and may still be available). i thought that by enabling people to do derivative drawing that it would totally revolutionize art, kill deviantart, etc. super creativity! ultimately it was a total failure and all i got were a bunch of penis drawings. i mean art is primal but i wasn't expecting the venus of willendorf

Nice! I think it’s not exactly for the same purpose: your UI is very “touch friendly”, and has some nice drawing tools.

Keep up the good work!
