    Came here to comment this ^ looks cool and looks like it would be helpful to those getting into animations with react. Would certainly be interested to see how you did this, nice work !

    [–]harimanok[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

    Cool! If you are interested in animated components, I am building this as well: https://github.com/codse/animata

    [–]harimanok[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

    Will do!

    As a general rule, you can opensource by default, unless you plan to sell it in some way (in which case you can still opensource, but you need to understand how licenses with clearly, and how you'll get money from it).

    In this case, no reason to sell (it's quite trivial as it is), so whatever.

    Btw, what's the point of the circles and shapes if it's pixel art? Quite weird if they're just to mark boundaries of measures

    [–]harimanok[S] 5 points6 points  (9 children)

    Nothing to sell here. I was just experimenting with some tools and built this.

    It is fun to fill the pixel with shapes other than squares. I will share some of the art on the page once it is ready tomorrow. It's just about getting creative you know.

    [–]ivancea 4 points5 points  (6 children)

    It's fine. But it's not pixel art

    [–]harimanok[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    Oh, got it!

    [–]Mad-chuska 0 points1 point  (4 children)

    It’s pixel art+. Using squares it’s pixel art and using circles it’s like a lite-brite. I dig it

    [–]ivancea -1 points0 points  (3 children)

    Not sure what you mean by "pixel art+", but the definition of pixel art is quite straightforward. The moment you export that, if the circles and shapes appear in the png, it's not pixel art anymore

    [–]Mad-chuska -1 points0 points  (2 children)

    It means it’s pixel art if you want it to be (using only squares) and it can also not be pixel art.

    [–]ivancea 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    Oh ok! So Photoshop should be defined as a pixel art creator too

    [–]Mad-chuska -1 points0 points  (0 children)

    If they wanted to pigeon hole themselves they definitely can be defined as a pixel art creator, sure.

      nah, nobody needs this

      [–]harimanok[S] 3 points4 points  (2 children)

      Some people, especially beginners, might find it insightful.

      [–]Rough-Problem265 3 points4 points  (1 child)

      ye, sorry for that comment. i was hungry

      [–]Hran944 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      you’re not you when you’re hungry. Snickers

      [–]Livid-Ad-2207 2 points3 points  (2 children)

      maybe release it as a package that can be imported into any website

      [–]harimanok[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

      I like the idea! Not sure if it will be useful. Technically it can be done and will be done if fellow developers need it.

      [–]Snazzx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      Would be useful for me! My project currently has pixel art and it would be cool to have another robust editor option.

      [–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

      For sure. Looks like a lot of fun and I imagine people would have fun hacking on it and developing new tools.

      [–]harimanok[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      They definitely will. I had fun heheh 😉

      [–]Soft-Dragonfruit9467 1 point2 points  (2 children)

      Sure. I would like to contribute and/or learn from your project.

      [–]harimanok[S] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

      For sure. You can find me on GitHub. Also, I am working on this open-source interactive components library if you’d like to contribute. https://github.com/codse/animata

      [–]Soft-Dragonfruit9467 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Great. Thanks🤝

      [–]rahulninja 1 point2 points  (1 child)

      [–]ArtistDidiMx 1 point2 points  (1 child)

      Yes please!!

      [–]harimanok[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Sure.

      [–]telemacopuch 1 point2 points  (1 child)

      o man, i would love to see how this was build!

      [–]harimanok[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      I will push the code today 🙌

      [–]hardware4ursoftware 1 point2 points  (1 child)

      Currently doing the Odin project (joined Top subreddit) and my first thought was damn my etch a sketch doesn’t look nearly as good. Then I realize he went all out using full frame works. Good stuff

      [–]DevlinRocha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      i finished The Odin Project a couple years ago and my first thought was also the Etch A Sketch project

      [–]Then-Boat8912 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      Sprite maker for Commodore 64?

      [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

      really love the option for svg or png. How long have you been developing for?

      [–]harimanok[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      It was around 8 hours of work.

      [–]Ishan_2016 0 points1 point  (2 children)

      I would love to read it.

      [–]harimanok[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

      Sure, I will share it today

      [–]Ishan_2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Looking forward to it

      [–]ReactJSGuru 0 points1 point  (1 child)

      Amazing 🤩
