Pixi Paint – A Simple Pixel Editor • Hacker News Board

It's primary use case is for limited size and limited palette images, generally Though maybe I should give up and display a popup if someone is opening a file it will be unlikely to handle.

Any interest in packaging a portable version in PortableApps.com Format? I've already done a Launcher that handles node webkit for 2048 Portable. I can help you with a Windows icon and installer if you're interested as well.

I was working on an HTML5 canvas pixel editor at some point. It was rather frustrating dealing with the Retina display, blurred edges, and anti-aliasing. I'm curious if this situation has improved at all.

Here's another pixel editor, but this time made with ClojureScript and Om (React-based framework).

Yeah, the situation is still pretty grim. I spent a good half week trying to get canvases scaling while maintaining chunky pixels across multiple browsers and finally gave up. In Goya, all of the pixels are drawn as rects. I actually read your 'drawing pixels is hard' article two or three times while I was trying to track down a good solution.

Really nice work! The symmetry controls are super clever.

Cool. I notice the persistent data structures pulling their weight on the right hand side of the window.
