Kiddo Paint

Don't let Bloomberg Magazine find this - they'll use it for all their covers! Seriously though, this is a ton of fun!

I love it! Great work man. Feel like a kid again :)

Fantastic. So many hours spent in MS Paint and friends when I was younger. Firing up your demo site made me feel like a kid again. Great idea :)

This is damn fun.

This is great! I can definitely see one of the reasons why it works so well for kids: there aren't any weird menu buttons that you might accidentally press and get lost in. You…

The explosion noise when clicking on the bomb is a nice touch :)

Well done! My train-obsessed 3 year old would approve of the stamp toolbar defaulting to a train. A button to download the canvas as a png or jpg would be nice for saving and…

Nice! Couple of things: - Firefox on Ubuntu yields "TypeError: t.srcElement is undefined" when I try to change the colour. - I don't have any fonts for some of the icons in the…

On Ubuntu and Firefox, I can't seem to change the color.

Windows + Firefox => looks like cars don't work - some icons are not visible and all of them are just creating rectangles in the picture http://snag.gy/4fm3H.jpg

Hey HN — so, after finding a 15-30min block at the end of each day over the span of about a a month, this little side project is about done. I had a blast working on this with my…

Great -- the very first button I press (the frowning cat) cleared out my entire painting. And I have no idea how to get it back. Clicking on every button shows that clicking the…

The bomb feature could very easily turn creative play time into a traumatizing event for a child. I second the labelling of the buttons. With that being said, amazing product!

I loved it. Have you ever thought about adding a "replay" button? It'd clear the canvas and show, step by step, what the kid draw. I've been building one similar, but for grown…

Nice. This would actually make for a nice iPad app.

Thanks for the report & screenshot! What, in general, happens with other emoji on Windows? Namely, the Apple color emoji—is there an analogue that Windows users fall back to?

The memories of KidPix have come flooding back! The is awesome! FYI: After a few minutes of using this, it seems to work quite well in Chrome on Ubuntu.

It's worth mentioning TuxPaint[1], which has been around for over a decade. That said, well done! There's no reason we shouldn't have plenty of choices for free and open source…

We had the same idea but wanted to go much much further. You should really try it out, its called Collusion. https://col.lu/ You have to sign up but it keeps your drawings like…

I love the spirit of this, and I've been waiting for someone to make it for years, if I didn't get to it first! If anyone wants to make a similar web app, I maintain an open…
