I had some free time and write a script to enhance the page (In my very personal opinion).

Use TamperMonkey to run it each time you enter the offline page.

Features:

  • Add white and black color
  • Focus effect on selected color
  • Add export button
  • Hide page texts when draw start
  • more to come ?

Be careful, downloading you creation on Chrome add a progress bar at the bottom. This resize the page and erase your work. Be sure to only download once you're done.

Glad people are drawing using it! I love the chicken πŸ“ πŸ“ πŸ“!

It was a ton of fun to make. I really wanted to create a place for people to make their own art instead of just displaying my own!
