I have a lot of ideas for new features, but I'd like to know what other people think.

Does anything jump out as an obvious next feature?

I really like it.

I could only sketch with grey. I didn't log in, and I didn't look around for instructions. Eventually I gave up and looked for instructions, but there was a big wall of text. So, I know that cursor keys do size of brush and colour (but colour is asymetric).

You might want to consider a paint style toolbar. For people like me. Just something really very simple - brush size and brush colour.

This is my first impression after about 45 seconds of play. You may not want users like me, (people who don't bother to read instructions) and if that's the case then that's fine!! It's a good thing to cater to your market.

Thanks Dan. I've designed some visual interfaces for it, but I've been avoiding implementing them. I guess it does put off a lot of visitors, so now is the time.
