#12This version of MS Paint is like the peak example of covering 99% of basic use cases while being incredibly simple to use. Whenever I need to make an arbitrary image real quick I miss this version of Paint. Nothing else I can find in 2020 even comes close to its intuitive interface.

How easy do you think it would be to create share links with the canvas state? Would be cool to share links to these things.

Isn't mspaint in Windows 10 basically the same thing but with a ribbon instead of a toolbar?
I don't much care for the ribbon but I'm used to it now. Hitting WinKey-R, mspaint, [Enter] is still my goto for simple picture editing, even just recording a screenshot despite the existence of the snipping tool...
Other than the minor annoyance of getting used to the ribbon I felt as if I was still using the same old paint when I did this.

you know it! It had a sleek and modern look for the time, while still having the simplicity and user-friendliness of MS Paint from Win 95/98. really wish this version of paint was still supported in Win 10
A sleek and modern look for the time? The basic UI was already over a decade old! (paintbrush) It's cool that you like it, but that's a surprising way to describe it. As I recall (as a user of windows 3.1, 95, ME and XP), the consensus was that Paint was a retro holdover, like Minesweeper and Solitaire. People appreciated it in a kitschy retro way. We still have Notepad.
And Ubuntu still ships with ed. Some people like their "retro" tools that have shipped with the OS since early versions.

It's similar but in my opinion with every release Microsoft makes their products slightly more unintuitive. This version of Paint is far simpler to view and instantly know what to click to get what you want.

Surely it can be packed as an Electron app?
Why would you do that? If it runs in a web page, it could be condensed to a single .html file.

Two things I dislike about the new Paint are;
1. Can't select secondary colour with right click
2. Needs way more clicks to get a filled Rectangle

This is awesome! I Still use Paint.Net in my VMWare emulator. There's some things in Paint.Net I really like including Crop to selection and things involving layers. If you ever plan to expand to include that, I'd be all ears!

#20Looks like this is a fork of https://jspaint.app/
What is the difference between those two?
