Show HN: Kiddo Paint

Hey HN — so, after finding a 15-30min block at the end of each day over the span of about a a month, this little side project is about done. I had a blast working on this with my kids acting as PMs :) I haven't tested it on non-OSX, and I imagine that the unicode/emoji support will be broken. I considered just including the OTF for those, but that's on order of ~40MB. Ideas welcome!

Don't let Bloomberg Magazine find this - they'll use it for all their covers!

Seriously though, this is a ton of fun!

re: emoji you could try picking and choosing the svg's you need out of here:

gzipped by the server, they should come out pretty tiny compared to an OTF full of PNGs

The memories of KidPix have come flooding back! The is awesome! FYI: After a few minutes of using this, it seems to work quite well in Chrome on Ubuntu.

Very fun, thanks for making this and open sourcing as well. Maybe as our kids get older they can start checking out the source.
