Show HN: JSPaint.exe – Original Windows 95 Paint.exe as a cross-platform binary
- zamadatix 5y agoTitle says original Windows 95 Paint.exe but readme says it uses JS Paint and the readme of that says it's a web based remake. https://github.com/felixrieseberg/windows95 https://github.com/felixrieseberg/windows95 seems closer to achieving the title.
- qwerty456127 5y agoPaint has always been a rather useless app, only good for fun as a kid. On a contrary Paint.Net is awesomely practical. Having a cross-platform Paint.Net implementation - this would be really cool.

- qwerty456127 5y agoIt is not nearly as intuitive as Paint.Net is. Paint.Net UX is perfect, it really is what Paint should be. On Linux there is Pinta which is a slightly-worse port o Paint.Net.

- selfhoster11 5y agoPaint is all one needs for basic cropping, cut/pasting, highlighting, drawing arrows, superimposing text and basic image manipulation. I think that this level of simplicity is admirable, because it means the application takes a second to boot so it doesn't break your flow when you're trying to get other things done.
- stormking 5y agoWhy on earth would you remake one of the shittiest paint applications ever released?
- dmz73 5y agoWindows 7 version of paint on the other hand is better than most paint like applications on Linux so if they made that version cross platform then we could finally have a decent simple paint program everywhere.
