Looks like the Great Firewall or something like it is preventing you from completely loading www.skritter.com because it is hosted on Google App Engine, which is periodically blocked. Try instead our mirror:

This might also be caused by an internet filter, such as SafeEyes. If you have such a filter installed, try adding appspot.com to the list of allowed domains.

Skritter on Windows RT

范博涵   August 14th, 2012 6:18p.m.

With Microsoft's 10.6", 1280x720 Surface tablet to be released on October 26 (at a reportedly very low $199 price point) and Flash being integrated into Internet Explorer 10, I am looking to move away from the iPhone (which will be a nice gift for the wife). However, did the Skritter team already perform the necessary steps to have themselves added to the CV list, as outlined a few months ago (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/jj193557(v=vs.85).aspx)?

It's still on my TODO list, but I haven't yet gotten access to a Windows box with the proper setup to do the testing to make sure it works.

You are using a Mac? Easy peasy:

1) Download Windows 8 Release Preview at http://windows.microsoft.com/en-IE/windows-8/download
2) Download 30 day trial of VMware Fusion 4 at https://my.vmware.com/web/VMware/evalcenter?p=VMware-fusion4

Then install VMware Fusion 4 and use the downloaded Windows 8 ISO file to create a Windows 8 virtual machine. You could also use the free VirtualBox (http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.1.18/VirtualBox-4.1.18-78361-OSX.dmg) towards the same purpose, but VMware Fusion 4 is a little bit more user friendly.

I'm using a Windows RT tablet now and I can tell you that Skritter doesn't work, It's a shame, because this device is VERY nice.

Actually, a native Windows app would be the way to go, rather than the web version. Is one in the works?

@AP I asked about native app a long time ago and the answer is "too much work". I'd love to do a port! But i'm sure the Skritter guys have other priorities

And actually, with a bit of google and hackery, I have managed to get Skritter running on my Surface RT pretty well - the trick is to force it into Android mode (which allows the Flash object to get focus so that it can get input from the screen)

Just browse to http://www.skritter.com/study/all?android=true and it'll work
