Hi guys, I'm the developer of Our Paint :D Interesting to see someone posted this on HN again (?) lol

To answer some questions...

- Our Paint is 16 bit per channel (8/128 bit on mobile due to GLES limitation).

- I really didn't implement much stuff other than just straight up painting features, and a cropping/moving feature (able to move stuff 1000px at a time), that's why it's sort of featureless because it lacks a lot of tricks like selection and free transform.

- The "Programmable" is maybe a weird term yeah, I intend it to mean the node based brushes cause it does support branching and looping in the evaluation.

- My site is slow because it's only got like 500KB/s bandwidth otherwise it's pretty expensive. But it works :P

I have _some_ timelapse videos of me painting and drawing stuff using it on my youtube channel. Here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLa86QFowwyVRKiUURCyWu...

But yeah if you are a lay person who is expecting some similar features from other software you probably are gonna be disappointed because it's not intended to replace other art programs. Our Paint is more like a restriction so you get consistency and creativity when you use it to create images.
