Though few predict that HTML5 would kill Flash, it’s more evident that HTML5 will innovate new web applications co-existing with flash.
The Latest web application “SketchPad” let’s you do a lot in your web browser. I’m deeply impressed by the capability of this app.
Sketchpad by Mugtug is a Pixelmator-like application that has desktop like tools, colour selection, patterns, swatches, all built using HTML5 and CSS. The performance is pretty good even on Firefox. And on Chrome 5 it was as good as any Desktop app, perhaps faster than Photoshop.
However, The UI doesn’t seem to take input from touchscreen, I couldn’t get it to run on iPhone or Android. But it would be one killer app.
It will not replace your current desktop image editor, but it’s a tool you must check out and admire for what it is.
