#2Great effort and reason to create this! I'm accustomed to using the Magic Wand tool in Paint.net[1] and Pinta[2] to select pixels based on color. Any chance you could add that functionality?

#4The name of this project brought many memories of the HP 48G to the forefront of my mind, after so many years. Its 1 bpp pixelated icons and drawings were indeed called GROBs - there are collections of these online. What a coincidental but fine name for a pixel-capable graphics editor.

Yep, magic wand already exists with contiguous/global toggle and tolerance slider. : )

Haha glad it brought back fond memories! Grob is just the nickname of my username GroverBurger. Fun coincidence.

#7Looks minimalistic and nice to use. I might try making a pixel icon for my app with it.

#8Grob is either Slavic cognate for "coffin" or German for "rough" :)

#9Do you really need that Python script? I think you could end up with a nicer user experience if you rewrote those 264 lines to JS with Electron.

#10Looks nice, thanks for sharing.
I'm using Affinity v1 for some specific photo manipulation work, and the workflow is a bit convoluted.
Very tempting to make a specialized tool like this for that.
