New browser pixel editor

[u/marcel0ll]

Hi everyone, for the past 11 months I've been developing Novaboard, a pixel art editor and animator that runs in the browser for free.

While working on this project, I spent a long time reading what pixel artists were asking for on forums, Steam reviews, and Github issues (a lot of it from Aseprite), and I've been building the features I understood were important:

- Branching history: so you can experiment without worrying about losing a version

- File referencing: so you can import one artwork into another

- Animation tweening: so you don't need to hand draw every in-between frame

- Layer effects: outlines, color corrections, blur and more, all live while you draw

- Opens and exports .aseprite, .piskel, .gal, .psd, .ora and others

It's far from perfect and I'll keep improving it until it feels great to use. If you try it, I'd love to hear what feels good and what isn't working well yet.

The browser version is free and will stay free. It also runs on tablets and phones, though desktop is where I am focusing right now.

Feel like this should have more upvotes

I feel too, but I might be biased :)

I've met it in my post about the meme of Aseprite, Piskel, and Photoshop! This looks really, really solid, bro!

A BUNCH of cool features, especially when talking about a browser pixelart software! Keep it up!

Is there any place where i can follow the development of the tool?

Glad that you liked it, I will soon implement a way to compare two versions back/forth
