Snipshot is an intuitive picture editor produced with Mochikit and Twisted.

Probably one of the best features I like about this app is that you don’t have to upload or download anything. You can open an image from your computer or you can specify a URL of an image and you’re off and running. Once you’re done editing the image you can save it to your Flickr or WebShots account. Very cool!

Another great feature is that they provide an API so you can use the technology in your own website! The API uses simple form posts and callbacks with the request parameters in JSON format. Nothing language specific there which is great.

Snipshot is one of the best implementations of an Ajax application I’ve seen in quite a while. Great job guys!
