thinking about making a painting app where the brushes are just GLSL shader files
also thinking about this wild innovation where your brush settings/size/colors are persistently remembered per document and PER LAYER
here's a poll: if I were to work on a painting program, would you be more interested in:
a web .html file you could visit or run locally, exported files saved to 'Downloads'
48%
a linux executable, which may have to be built from source
52%
Poll ended at .

@selfsame
personally I much prefer the linux executable, but I voted for web because it's more broadly available.

Ultimately it depends on your audience.
