Son of a Web-based Drawing Application!

No, no, no!

Splashup, formerly Fauxto, is a powerful editing tool and photo manager. With all the features professionals use and novices want, it’s easy to use, works in real-time and allows you to edit many images at once. Splashup runs in all browsers, integrates seamlessly with top photosharing sites, and even has its own file format so you can save your work in progress.”

Why oh why did I have to stumble upon this? Not only does this do a better job of what I ever dreamed Drawp would do, it’s fun to use. I made this in about 35 seconds:

Much of the Photoshop hotkeys are missing, but when I started reaching for hotkeys in a Web application, I knew it was something special. If the goodness of Web Apps was rated on a level of Synergy with other Web Apps, this thing would score a “Saintly.” It hooks in with Flickr, Picasa, Facebook, as well as saving to your local filesystem and the SplashUp service itself.

I can’t believe I’d never heard of this, but you can believe I’ll be playing with it for the rest of the weekend.

Geez, I mean… geez! The online version of Photoshop that Adobe’s working on is going to have to be freaking awesome to beat this in features and functionality.

I can’t find any source, so it doesn’t appear to be open, but it is hot. Maybe there still is a place for Drawp, I’ll just have to Synergize.
