JS Paint
A web-based revival of classic MS Paint with modern extras.
What’s new
Verified 5h ago### Embedding API
#### Changed
- `systemHooks.writeBlobToHandle` promise can resolve with `true` to indicate success, in which case **File > Save** will not prompt to save the file again. `false` indicates failure or cancellation, whereas `undefined` can be used if it is unknown whether the file will be saved successfully, as is the case when using the `download` attribute on an anchor element. If saving as a monochrome bitmap, `undefined` will cause the canvas to become monochrome, but it will still prompt to save the file again. This tradeoff is reasonable because the download attribute doesn't support saving over an already saved file anyways
- Marked more parts of the API as optional ([⟜](https://github.com/1j01/jspaint/commit/2fe8c35ca6500cc32584dae30f8c3d4ffe989aa3))
#### Fixed
- Fixed error from looking in the wrong place for menus when embedded ([⟜](https://github.com/1j01/jspaint/commit/421fad7dc25c4d27caa46535a2641b12e49a9b18), [⟜](https://github.com/1j01/jspaint/commit/04804396e187b1bf4af9cc31ca449d18661f97ed))
