Description
I built this over my Christmas break: pixels.style, a simple browser-based pixel art tool that gives your drawings a soft, watercolor vibe instead of sharp pixels. No signup, just open and draw. Installable as a PWA.Try it: https://pixels.styleWould love feedback on whether it feels fun/useful and what you’d want next!
