Whether you like this or feel like it's not as powerful as you'd like, try http://recursivedrawing.com/ in a similar vein with discussion here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3951255. It's simultaneously simpler and more expressive than this tool in my opinion.

Very simple and expressive, indeed!

Indeed, my tool is very much centered around the drawing experience. It's all about the pen strokes, not the placement of established shapes.
Unfortunately no SSL, so I won't be enabling JS.
You can clone the repo, audit the code, then host it yourself if you want to: https://github.com/electronicwhisper/recursive-drawing/tree/...
If you're worried about someone MITM'ing you and injecting malicious code on random webpages you should be using a VPN.
Unless your local network or ISP is particularly bad VPNs only make it worse IMHO.
Yes, and you can trust your ISP and/or VPN and you have no way to tell if the origin web server is compromised and is serving malicious JS. HTTPS or not.
