It was predicted long back that RIA (Rich internet Applications) no longer needs Flash’s domination. AJAX/ JQuery, HTML 5, CSS will together form the best army against the closed Flash (which can’t be open sourced).
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.
