What are unusual and creative usages of html5 canvas [closed]

Answer 1

I always thought of creating a simple image editor with the canvas tag. It would be easy to use it for cropping, resizing, changing color values, removing red eyes etc.

Answer 2

My two favorite are:

• Processing.js - an implementation of the processing language in javascript/canvas.
• Bespin - a collaborative coding IDE that feels more like a beautiful native app.

Answer 3

There's a really cool tool called Detexify which uses machine learning on the back end which allows you to draw the LaTeX symbol you're interested in knowing the LaTeX code of and it will suggest one for you based on what it's learned from other users.
