I started using Piskel about 2 years ago. I am now 14 years old and the effort to make something pixel was to produce my own assets in Scratch. I tried to use different tools like Aseprite and Photoshop but they all seemed pretty complicated to me. While I was looking for a tool, came across a YouTube channel and through this channel I got to know Piskel. It was very simple to use and very useful! I loved it and started using it, all this time has passed, and it's still the desktop tool I use the most. I can't say I can do good things, but sometimes I use Piskel even where I need to use Photoshop. You can imagine how hard it is to cut a photo with literally a pixel tool!

About a week ago, while cleaning my computer, I realized that I hadn't used Piskel for weeks and deleted it. But today I'm out of business again. When I entered the site to download it again, a new appeared that the accounts would be deleted. This wasn't a problem as I didn't use Piskel in the browser but I was really upset. It felt as if the house where I spent my childhood was slowly leaving. And when I learned that only one person developed this amazing tool, I wanted to thank you in particular.

You deserve so much appreciation! I love this tool, it's very useful, the interface is very nice and the name is awesome! I just don't want you to give up on Piskel, normally I don't write a message like this to anyone or anything but for some reason it means a lot to me. Piskel like my best friend.

And hey, thank you so much for that amazing creation :)

Thank you so much for the nice words! The support and understanding from users has been really helpful. And thanks for sharing your history with Piskel, I'm glad the editor clicked for you at that point in your life.

I do exactly the same :)

I want to mention that even though the piskelapp.com website was mostly a one-person-band, I did receive significant help for the editor itself (https://github.com/piskelapp/piskel/). Over the years there have been contributions from all over the world. Developers diving into the undocumented codebase, proposing small fixes or huge performance refactors. I definitely can't take all the credit for the editor.

Also the editor will not go anywhere, it will also remain available on piskelapp.com. I will do my best to improve the workflow with local files or with existing cloud storage solutions, so that one day, users can have an experience close to what piskel accounts used to offer.

Thanks again!

Same thought here, your software is amazing ! I just discovered it today and everything is so instinctive, every action that comes to mind can be done easily, to all layers or all frames... Everything has a nice shortcut... THANKS YOU SO MUCH ! Honestly I usually criticize a lot of softwares, but here i'm bluffed. It probably reflects how much work and hindsight you put into it.

Maybe you should consider putting this on Steam to touch a larger audience, because it is a bit niche to find, but has much value !
