jspaint.exe VS jspaint

This is very polished and cool looking. Inspiring. I find this project's level of polish very inspiring.

It's lovely to see someone has captured this idea and expressed it in the right way to make it interesting to many people. I really hope this mode of desktop apps can take off, at least to the level where the community has something to explore for a while to see if it works. I made something like this for Chrome browsers a while ago, nodejs backends, vanilla front-ends, built-in packaging using pkg. It's just a nice approach: https://github.com/dosyago/graderjs

And I made a demo using the venerable MS Paint clone JS Paint^0. The dev experience was great, I literally just dropped in the front-end code to the right folder, compiled it and wham, "desktop JS paint" on 3 platforms, haha.

Using the ubiquitous local browser as the rendering / API engine for desktop just seems smart. And it's technically interesting, because you get to think in terms of how can you step back from the browser, the platform, the front-end and the back-end and come up with a general API that addresses all of it, which is kinda cool.

Jspaint.exe – JS Paint as a cross-platform native desktop app\ (23 comments)

This is by the same person who made jspaint. https://github.com/1j01/jspaint Some of the other projects by the author are also very interesting https://github.com/1j01?tab=repositories&q=&type=&language=&...

There is this pipes screen saver for example https://1j01.github.io/pipes/

This was unreasonable hard to make in "ms paint"

First comic I actually drew with MS Paint (or rather https://jspaint.app).

"A hungry wolf stands outside a house made out of straw. You, a bad bad wolf Little pig, little pig, let me in! Me, the humble pig No, not by the hairs of my chinny chin chin! You, the wolf growing hungrier by the minute Then I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house in! Please solve possible solution for X to blow down straw house." For drawing the character: https://jspaint.app/

Have you tried one of the browser ones like https://jspaint.app/

I can confirm that the jspaint.app that you mentioned does not run on the Paperwhite browser. It tries to load an crashes rather quickly. The Kindle has what is sometimes described as an "experimental browser." It will run some JavaScript, but it seems that certain JavaScript syntax will not work. Also, to the extent that it does work, the browser is quite slow.

Also https://jspaint.app (MIT-licensed web remake)

i also edit it using https://jspaint.app since i have a macbook.
