Started in 2010, Kleki aims to be the goto tool for quickly creating fun paintings. It is universally accessible through the browser without any installation and allows anyone to start sketching in less than one second. Kleki is open-source, community funded and is currently developed & maintained by the programmer/artist bitbof. This site considers the act of making art a protected activity which should not be intruded by ads. Kleki is inspired by early web applets for drawing like Oekaki Shi-Painter and Lascaux Sketch.
Additional Credits: glfx.js for filters, Harmony inspired the Sketchy-Brush, FileSaver.js for saving files, ag-psd for PSD import/export.
