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 source library whose sole purpose is putting JavaScript drawing programs on web pages with custom tools.
http://literallycanvas.com/ http://literallycanvas.com/
Here's a simple web app I made with it that saves to local storage and uploads to Dropbox and Imgur: http://drawplz.com http://drawplz.com
(The text tool is slightly broken right now; the selection box drag corners are invisible.)

- tekromancr 11y agoOh, cool! I actually played with literally canvas a little while ago when I built this: http://tekromancr.github.io/drawchat/ http://tekromancr.github.io/drawchat/ I eventually decided to go with drawingboard, though I don't remember exactly why. But I was absolutely thinking about using literally canvas to build a kidpix-style webapp!
