Really cool!

A quick enhancement you can add, which will help mobile users, is adding appropriate touch specifiers to the element. Currently I am unable to drag the pen to draw -- the whole page moves. By fixing that, I should also be able to use my Apple Pencil.

Specifically, this page describes it better: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/touch-actio...

Hi, thank you very much for your feedback! Unfortunately, I don’t have plans to support mobile so far, but maybe one day I will! Please stay tuned as the project continues to grow!

Gave it a quick try and liked it so far. Of course it's still quite basic but a good start I'd say. Looking forward to seeing more features being added.

To anyone looking for a more feature packed pixel art editor, I highly recommend https://github.com/Orama-Interactive/Pixelorama which is free and made with Godot. I recently switch to Pixelorama coming from Aseprite because imo the development for the latter got a bit stale over the years while Pixelorama really seems to have a lot of momentum and community behind it. Also, Pixelorama being made with Godot is something I really love to see!

Thanks a lot for giving it a try and for the great recommendation! I’ll definitely check out Pixelorama — it looks like there’s a ton I can learn from it. And I’ll keep working on improving my editor too!

Cute!

I'm curious, why use netify and not just github pages? AFAICT your app is just a static page. If so, there's no reason you need netify (which IIUC will require $$$ knock you off eventually). Is there some tutorial/LLM/template you followed that used netify? Were you planning on adding serve side features, user accounts, galleries? Just curious.

Haha, you’re absolutely right! I had built my blog with Astro before, and the tutorial I followed used Netlify for deployment. So I just stuck with it. I don’t have any plans to add server-side features for now. Anyway, thanks for your reply!!

I dont know much about pixel art and tools but I could not figure out how to add more tiles. I realize is probably a might dumb question

It starts with 4 (I think) how do I add an additional 2?

That’s not a dumb question at all — thanks for pointing it out! Right now, the canvas size is fixed, but I’m planning to support resizing soon.

Looks really cool! Well done.

I made something similar, albeit less stylised, a while back. It's got animation. I'm not sure it's the ideal way to do it, but have a look if you want. I describe the approach here: https://bardhovde.com/posts/miko/
