That's interesting, I guess the author have that same feeling with me when I tried to create the same thing with Windows 7 on my personal website https://dinhquangtrung.net, just that my Windows 7 is not ready feature complete because I was too lazy, haha.

#72Earlier quoted context omitted.
One thing I noticed is that it doesn't draw zoomed-in images correctly - pixels are blurry. Didn't check if this is Canvas or WebGL, but something in the code begs being changed from LINEAR to NEAREST. (EDIT: turns out to be a Firefox issue; Chrome shows the sweet pretty pixels correctly.) > I really think this is an awesome project, but I am old enough (30) to remember fast performing GUI apps and I don't know if I'…
The canvas tag has `image-rendering: pixelated;` set, but Firefox currently doesn't support the setting right now. [0] Are you able to try it in Chromium? I set the property on the canvas to `-moz-crisp-edges` in Nightly and that fixed it. [0] https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/image-rende...
Oh. Didn't even occur to me that it could be a browser issue (after all, I would think that not antialiasing things in an API meant for per-pixel operations would be the default). Alas, you're right and guessed correctly - I tested it on Firefox. I just tried it on Chrome, and there the pixels show correctly.

#73I never got people's love of MS Paint. There is so little it could do, and it didn't always want.to play nice with modern image formats.
Nostalgia. Many of us spend hours making drawings as a kid, since it was basically the only thing to do next to mine sweeper. Just like we all miss clippy, useless as he was.

#74I haven't used Windows as a primary OS for years. I miss having MSPaint around for small edits, and have yet to find a suitable replacement. Other apps either have too few features (e.g. Preview) or too many (GIMP), or the interface doesn't feel right. It might just be because I'm used to it after using it for years when I was younger, but MSPaint's interface just makes sense, and it hits the sweet spot of features f…
IMO the best painting/lightweight editing tool is paint.net. Since I moved to mac I moved to Gimp and it’s ‘fine’.. but paint.net is really the only tool I’m missing fron windows

I regularly use http://www.pixlr.com/editor/
I used pixlr a lot for a lot of minor editing, but with a new system on which I avoid flash like the plague, it turned out to be (arguably) the only webapp without a flash-free alternative.
Now I simply use Adobe Photoshop even for minor edits (Yes, it's bloated, but can't bring myself to install Flash just for one webapp)

Re: JS Paint – A web-based MS Paint remake
#78The UI and behavior is amazingly close to the real thing. But I cannot help but sigh when the brush tool lags more than Paint lagged on a 233 MHz Celeron. I really think this is an awesome project, but I am old enough (30) to remember fast performing GUI apps and I don't know if I'll ever "get over" losing them. edit: hopefully it is an inefficient implementation and not the inherent slowness of web apps.
Or perhaps it's just a fun demo, not intended to be an actual replacement in performance for native mspaint.

Does paint dotnet work on Linux through Wine?
