What JS Paint actually is

A recreation of Windows 98's Paint that gets the tool palette, the colour strip and the jagged pencil exactly right, then adds what the original lacked, including unlimited undo and transparency. It works offline and opens and saves real image files.

Why it is worth your time

The airbrush hisses at the same rate and sprays the same speckled pattern, which is the sort of detail nobody had to get right.

We built one too
