It should be getting a dark theme face-lift in the next week though!
Hi HN! Pixel Sorter is a website for creating glitch art through pixel sorting. I built it over the last two weeks on request from my designer friend who noticed that there are paid apps for pixel sorting and scripts, but not a solid, free website for it.
It includes - Random, full image, and threshold sorting - Sorting by HSL and RGB values - Cardinal directions. - Regular and inverted masking.
You can get pretty cool effects with the default values, and you can get pretty precise effects through the use of inverted masking.
Caveat: It might panic if you try to glitch an image that's too large. All work is done client-side on a web worker. The pro is that Pixel Sorter will always be free and you retain your privacy. The con is that the app uses enough memory to upset a browser. Incorporating generator functions to ameliorate that is on my to-do list, and hopefully that'll be enough without learning WebAssembly.
Let me know what you think!

I've been writing short stories all year and it's a great challenge. It's quite different from writing code. https://conorbarnes.com/stories
