JS Paint is also included in a web-based version of Windows 98,
along with Notepad, Minesweeper, Sound Recorder, Calculator, and Winamp.
For a more native experience, you can install the JS Paint desktop app. It works on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Features:
Alternatively, you can install JS Paint as a PWA (Progressive Web App), but this does not yet support offline use (as it doesn't include a Service Worker). It's more like a bookmark (for now), except it runs in a special window.
The user interface for installing PWAs differs by browser and operating system.
On most desktop browsers, the install prompt is in the URL bar.
On mobile, the install prompt is generally found in the menu of browser options.
See
Installing PWAs for visual guidance.
For the casual viewer, it may be irrelevant. For the media archivist, the collector, or the pop culture historian, it is a door to thousands of hours of entertainment that would otherwise be erased from history.
Media scholars are starting to analyze these naming conventions to understand how pre-digital natives organized their collections. The "s2m" pattern mimics library classification (e.g., "S2" for Series 2, "M" for Movies), but with a chaotic, democratic flair. This tells us that even without centralized databases, fans created sophisticated taxonomies.
