The drawing board logo is a pretty fun easter egg-type-thing.

Seems to perform quite well, though the fill tool is a bit useless thanks to the antialiasing on the lines that can't be turned off. Considering the simple approach of this, I'd either remove the AA (or make it togglable) or get rid of the fill tool. Also... h1 { font-family: Comic Sans MS; } Seriously?

Did you really need to inspect to tell? :P

Yeah there's still a bit of work to do on the paint can. Hey, Comic Sans fits perfectly here, don't you think? :)

This is a lovely program and yes, Comic Sans fits 100% perfectly :) haters gonna hate!

Had quite a laugh at enlargeYourContainer.

Any plan to release a way to export the drawing in a json object (or any other data structure) ?

Props to you anyway.

Just noticed this comment in the code:

*droppable: true or false (false by default). If true, dropping an image on the canvas will include it and allow you to draw on it

That's awesome! I was thinking that this would make a great coloring book, and being able to just drop lineart into the back of a canvas and have your kid go to town is awesome. Really nice work, Leimi!

Are we really bringing back OekakiBBS? I'm totally ok with this.

First thing I thought of with this was creating a mobile app that would be a cloud based instant note taking tool. Preferably used with a stylus.

I think the tool you are looking for is http://scri.ch/

Sweet! I am building an app that can use this to take a customer signature. The app will be using a tablet and stylus to make sales on the floor. Been debating a feature like this.
