Simple HTML5 Canvas Drawing App: ‘Stache the Hipster
I wanted to put together a mobile web drawing app that uses the canvas API available in HTML5 and also responds to touch events. I also wanted to draw mustaches on hipsters.
I found an awesome boilerplate for a touch-driven drawing app here. And from there I tweaked it a bit, added some simple javascript for the buttons, a nice slick web font, and a handful of choice hipsters from LATFH. For the time being, you can direct your smartphone here to start ‘staching hipsters.
