Looks like this is a fork of https://jspaint.app/

They disclose this in the (beautifully done) about page.

The main differences are:

* it works totally offline (it performs no XHR requests and none of the libraries are linked to CDNs or other sites)

* is contained within a single ~1 MB in size .html file (I baked all images, scripts, style sheets, etc. within a single file)

* is lighter, as I removed some features to keep it closer to the original (but kept a few like the history and rendering as a GIF)

* is Win XP themed instead of Win 95

Is it possible to save it locally and work on that?

This looks like Win98 paint :)
