Ah, this could be used as the missing paint in macOS. Even taking a screenshot and dragging it inside the browser works as expected. Is there an easy wat to turn this into an app that can live locally?
Paint is the only thing I miss about Windows.

These similar products feel works for some reason.
On macOS and Linux, we lack the basic graphics editor.
See, for the tools in MS Paint are very basic and have very nice defaults so it usually yields non-disturbing results. Good defaults are important.

You could probably use a local caching proxy if your love for MSPaint is true and pure.
To make a "native" version of an app orders of magnitude larger than the original, because no one bothers to make actual native apps anymore.
This is not the best possible timeline.
For example, I want to create a very basic image where I would use other images and screenshots and I would cover something to hide, resize some of the images I use and put a few words of text to indicate something.
This is so very easy in MS Paint. The app will open in 0.1s, you will configure the size of your canvas by dragging the dot in the corner, copy-paste your images and drag and resize them by moving the dots then you can select and delete the parts you don't want and when you are happy with your arrangements you will use the rectangle drawing tool to cover some places and the text to mark the places you want to mark. Everything is fast, you don't have to think about layers, masks, vectors or anything like that and the app is very responsive.
Preview has some tools but they are cumbersome to use and there's no way to bring in other images.
