What it does
Microsoft Paint has returned in the form of a JS web app 🎨
Classic MS Paint in the browser, with extra features
I have created an entirely new MS Paint clone, called Textual Paint . JS Paint runs in the browser, bringing nostalgia to the web, but if it's not retro enough for you, what's more retro than a terminal? Once again, I've implemented basically every feature of MS Paint, but this time as a Text User Interface (TUI). Textual Paint is written in Python, and is built with the Textual framework. To install Textual Paint, first make sure you have Python 3.10 or later. Then run pip install textual-paint (or pipx install textual-paint ). To run Textual Paint, run textual-paint . You'll need to use a modern terminal emulator with Unicode and true color support, such as Windows Terminal, GNOME…from jspaint.app

Repaint – a WebGL based website builder2024 · repaint.com · ▲236Hey HN! We're Ben and Izak, founders of Repaint (YC S23). Repaint is like Figma, but for creating real websites. It has panning, zooming, and dragging elements around. The settings closely follow html/css. We think an open canvas is a big improvement over other website builders. Everything is easier: styling, consistency, responsiveness… But making it work was hard! We thought HN would appreciate the tech behind it: - A custom WebGL rendering engine (w/text, shadows, blurs, gradients, & opacity groups) - A partial implementation of the css spec - A custom text editor & text shaper…
