Heya! This app's been great for the most part, but I can't seem to export anything to a usable .ase file. Any time I try it, when I open it up in Aseprite, all my layers and frames are just blank. Turning visibility on/off doesn't change anything.  :(

Also, there's this weird bug I get sometimes when I undo. It's hard to describe, but it essentially reverts some layers back several stages, and hitting redo doesn't fix it. So it kinda sets my progress back here and there if I don't save my work often enough, haha.  ^^; 

Hey phantom_pixel, glad that overall it has been working, but I am sorry for those bugs ’-.-

I am constantly working to improve the app and its stability, the next version I am focusing on improving the undo/redo, and I will also reserve some time to look into the .ase exporter

Thank you for the report

I would love a software/non-browser version. Do you guys plan on doing that?

Yes, I am currently working on it! I will release it here on itch in the following months

Awesome Tool Bro, but is there any Chance for a downloadable standalone Windows App to See the Light of day?For me personally this would be a proper reason to donate/purchase for novaboard :) best regards, love & peace 

Hey, thank you! If possible, could you rate the app?

Yes, there is a big chance of having a downloadable version in the near future.

But for now, I will keep it web-only, as it is faster to iterate on new ideas and find good workflows for pixel artists and game devs, which will help differentiate from Aseprite and similar apps.

Broder i've been using it and so far it's working very well. I wanted to let you know that there's a problem with Ctrl+Z on duplicate frames. If I duplicate a frame, modify it several times, and then press Ctrl+Z to undo a line while making changes, it deletes the image created by duplicating the other frame. The modifications remain in the duplicated frame, but the image of the duplicated frame is lost.

Hey, thank you for letting me know. I am working on an update for tomorrow, and I will include a fix.

If possible, could you rate the app here? It helps a lot.

Fixed in version 0.3.0, which is out right now!

This is a delightful tool. The workflow is intuitive and cuts out the noise, focusing purely on high-quality pixel art creation. The branch history feature is a game-changer. Great job!

Thank you!
