Nice! Keep it simple and clean. What do you think about mine drawing : http://scri.ch/x0 Just having some fun.

Yours drawing is excellent. With my trackpad or even my mouse it is not easy to control to draw properly. You did an excellent job. Linux rocks.

Thank you! Yes, it would be easier to draw if we could use something else as pointer(pen) instead of mouse pointer but this was more challenging and fun.

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…

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!

Thanks, you too, I love the idea of save & draw.

Btw I'm using an existing simple jQuery plugin to handle touch events by converting them into mouse ones. AFAICS you're not using jQuery, but you might be able to pull out the functionality you need to add to your app too, if you decide to add touch support: http://code.google.com/p/jquery-ui-for-ipad-and-iphone/

I build something similar 4 years ago.

At first I didn't realize I was editing the image real time, nice trick there with the base64 encoding. Very interesting.

That's how CANVAS works. Image data is made available base64 encoded. It's actually really convenient for sending around over HTTP.

Shows how much I know about html5 :/ I've been hesitant to delve in to it, because it would drive me crazy that I can't actually use much of it when supporting all browsers.
