I don't need pixel editors a lot, but I've definitely used Piskel a few times in the past for making some simple icons. It's not perfect, but works well enough for me.
Did anyone see if there was a way to onion skin the previous frame... I like the interface.
There's an onion icon next to the FPS slider... Is that what you're looking for?
Impressive web app! Runs fine in my not-recently-updated browser.
Really like the Save options, there's 'save offline to file'; 'save offline in browser' (I presume HTML5 storage); and save online.
Save offline to file is really nice, and I wasn't aware could be done. It got my Googling, and I found this:
https://github.com/eligrey/FileSaver.js
Which I'm guessing is what people use these days when needing 'save as file' from the browser. I wanted this about 3 years ago and gave up, settling on saving the JSON to an Amazon bucket as the only option. I always wanted save as file though, just because I love local storage options in an age of cloud storage. I will now revist my old web app and try to implement this.

It was definitely there three years ago. The trick is to create an <a> with the "download" attribute and set the URL to a data URI (or, if supported, use a blob and URL.createObjectURL). That will get you a download prompt.
Wow. The UI is pretty easy to learn and the whole thing feels really zippy.
I wish I was better at pixel art so I could make something cool. Right now I have a box that just kinda jiggles a bit.

I love this site! I used it to make the graphics for a virtual pet app last year.

This is a great project. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that you have a Linux offline build as well.
I really like apps that nail one specific thing well.
Bookmarking this for later, good stuff.

The palette tools feel very clunky and primitive. I'd expect there to be a very simple way to add the current color to a palette, but I can't figure out how. More importantly, I expect that modifying a color in the palette would also affect all the pixels that use said palette entry! Instead, they retain their old color. Also, it would really help if I could freely arrange palettes all in their own windows, like this:

Unfortunately a pixel graphics editor that has lackluster palette tools is a non-starter for me so I didn't even bother with looking at the rest of the features...

I love this. Amazing work with those gifs and the color palettes. I have been playing with colors and would like to try to implement something like this in my spare time.
Do you know about the dawnbringer palettes[0] ? They seem a good default for an initial approach to pixel art.

yup, a good palette management is essential for a good pixel art app. Something like what grafx2[1] has, at least.

In Chrome, clicking the 'manage this palette' button doesn't seem to do anything. Perhaps it is the overlay causing problems. I agree with the above comment, this absolutely MUST be fixed!
Even something as basic as what Aseprite has would be nice.

Ah memories! Thanks you for this!
Oh man, I like that UI
if one wants a fully featured pixelart editor, there's always aseprite[1]. (You can build it from source for free)

The purity of the interface reminds me of Deluxe Paint II (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/6c/Snapshot_Delu...). Great work!
So nice, when you just made a mistake and a simple ctrl+z just works right out of the box. And great UI. Gonna look more into it later.
This is hilarious - the clone icon is a picture of a sheep.
Maybe I'm a bit thick today, but what's the sheep refering to?
When I have brainfog at work, I waste all my time on it [2]
