         | Yes, it looks really good. I wonder if it will unseat Aseprite?

           | This one is great since it allows for in-editor previewing of
           | "weird" ideas, I know I've re-invented that UV-mapping
           | workflow shown with the skeleton on the page once for a game-
           | jam and wanted to use it but skipped it in the end since
           | asset-creation was "annoying", having support in an editor to
           | preview it easily can be a game-changer.

             | You mean ASE is more focused? Both look quite smooth, but
             | PixiEditor seems to have more features (which inevitably
             | leads to less focus).

       | You had my attention, now you have my interest... or however that

       | Edit: Please please please add the `playsinline` attribute to
       | your video elements. I'm on my phone, and every time I scroll a
       | video explodes and takes over the whole screen.
