JSPaint puts the old Paint on the web with lots of tweaks

Since the focus is now on the Paint 3D app in Windows 10, Microsoft plans to move the classic Paint app to the Microsoft Store, and there are concerns that at some point in the future it could be removed completely.
While this is unlikely to happen, at least as far as Microsoft is concerned right now, classic Paint could live longer thanks to third-party versions, including one that’s called JSPaint.
As compared to Paint, JSPaint runs in your browser and is actually a remake of the original version of the app that comes with the color palette at the bottom of the screen and doesn’t have a ribbon, as the modern version in Windows 10.
The interface of JSPaint looks nearly identical to the one of MS Paint, but the application also boasts a series of extra tweaks including unlimited redos and undos (in Windows XP, for instance, these tasks were limited to just three operations), auto-saving, themes, and extra menu section for additional features.
More features planned
The developer of JSPaint says more features are on their way, including some interactive tutorials that could help users figure out how to use the web-based app.
“I want to bring good old paint into the modern era,” the dev says. “Windows 95, 98, and XP were the golden years of paint,” he continued.
“You had a tool box and a color box, a foreground color and a background color, and that was all you needed. Things were simple. But we want to undo more than three actions. We want to edit transparent images. We can't just keep using the old paint. So that's why I'm making JS Paint.”
As Ghacks notes, the app runs smoothly in the majority of browsers, including Microsoft’s very own Edge in Windows 10. You can find out more about the project, including the existing and the upcoming features, on its official Github page here.
