The immediate feature that comes to mind is to be able to rotate the canvas that we're drawing on. I noticed that your logo (which is awesome) is actually in a different orientation than the drawing space.

  Unfortunately that feature got dropped from the MVP... it's definitely very high up on the list. You can edit the image afterward of course. Thanks for trying it out!

Very nice, this is very similar to an idea I had kicking around for QR codes. I was looking to smash a bitmap or pixel art into it and start adding extra characters into the URL to minimize the error rate, trying to find the closest unmodified QR code. Then just route that URL or create a rewrite rule to display the page you want. There's a possibility that a good code could be converged on but if the crypto is good enough it should be difficult. I haven't done any research at all though, I could be way off base.

Your interface requires a 3-button mouse, which anyone on a Mac is not likely to have (especially on a laptop). Yes, you can get a right click by doing a two-finger tap, but that's pretty clumsy, and you can't draw with it because that turns into scrolling. You should probably just let people click on black, white, or grey buttons to select the current color.

  Even on a PC - it was a complete nightmare. Opera kept interpreting my right-click movements as gestures and middle button as a request to scroll around the page. It was more than just a little frustrating because of this. That all said, layout of the site and idea itself is very good.

  One possible solution: * If you click with the "left" button on a "grey" or "white" pixel, then you draw with a "black" color until you release the button. * If you click with the "left" button on a "black" pixel, then you draw with a "grey" color until you release the button. * If you click with the "right" button on a "grey" or "black" pixel, then you draw with a "white" color until you release the button. * If you click with the "right" button on a "white" pixel, then you draw with a "grey" color until you release the button.

Why doesn't it work on IE9?
