This is really nice. Much nicer than the plotter apps I've tried to use recently. Lots of attention given to UX details. I needed something like this with square cels recently. The best web app I could find was kind of terrible. You couldn't save, and it slowed to a crawl after a hundred pixels or so.

#22A minor suggestion: give more buttons in the UI `pointer: cursor` and hover states; it will be easier to see when a click will actually do something (thinking in particular of the black bar of icons at the bottom of the page).
Oh yes, that's a silly miss from me :-O
Thanks!!

#23Cool.. could you make it so command+click deletes the cell?
You can select, then press 'backspace' on your keyboard. That should do the trick :)
Hmm.. that's not working for me on a mac. I can select a single triangle? option/command + click would be quite convenient vs select each individual cell... since you could drag to erase.

#24Consider mapping right-click to erase or draw with a secondary color. MSPaint had this feature and it was ideal for "pushing around" pixels. I've sorely missed this functionality in most pixel art tools.

#25It loads a blank page for me when I start a new canvas.
Your ad blocker might need to be disabled. I also had the same problem, but it worked after adding an exception for the page in uBlockO (the extension icon did not indicate that anything was blocked, though).

XOR-like behavior for the draw tool without any modifiers would work as well.

Aseprite has it :)

#28Would be great if there were a few samples available to load right off the landing page..
Just placed some “pixels” :)

Had that problem on my first try in Firefox 57.
It worked after reloading the page once.
