What a shame. Cannot register into this new forum. With Firefox it takes me on a loop back to the TOS and "I agree" button, nothing pisses me off more than that online. Try it again with Brave and it stiffly keeps the same "I agree" screen.

Anyway, I wanted to say I became curious with the screenshot of what looks like scripted Cyrillic characters. Pardon my ignorance here. Were the paths originally done with GIMP or other image-creation program, or is it part of the "Calligraphy Pro 128 Studio" project?

I'm asking because it could be a bit unsettling for somebody else interested in QBJS to get a bunch of numbers and is like, "WTF, where is the cool font to draw with? What's the big deal?" GIMP can export paths to a text file which has to be parsed, but works differently from Inkscape. SVG files could be imported as well. I found it easier in the past to deal with "plain SVG" instead of "sodipodi". LOL because I was bored one day, created a Lua script creating SVG files which only used lines to come up with a complex gradient background. Had to depend on Inkscape to export to PNG.

As far as the forum thing, I'd have to check on that. Steve gave me that forum back when "team dot com" threw me out so IDK anything about admining a forum.

And yes, all the curves, shadings/weightings and decorations, along with the exported numbers are all done within Calligraphy Pro 128 Studio, no external software involved. It's meant as a digital calligraphy studio, ie for tracing pen works or drawing them with the stylus. Here is an example of what a session looks like:

So, I've yet to make this a public-facing project with all that's involved -- instructions, user-interface, etc etc. So far it's all mouse and keyboard shortcuts, and I think I care more about what I can make with the program rather than the program itself but it's there for anyone to learn and try so I had to throw it in on the topic of web-based drawing programs

DPaint.js is inspired by the legendary Commodore Amiga Program "DeluxePaint". Just select "Documentation" from the "Help" menu, there you find some feature highlights and a introduction video.

Ooooh!!!

I loved DP2e in the old days. I have since switched to use Grafx2 by Sunset Design which is every bit better but inspired by DP2.

Thanks for sharing dpaint.js!
