[Showoff Saturday] Spearite: I built a free browser-based pixel art & sprite editor (fully client-side)
Hey r/webdev,
I'm a big fan of Excalidraw's instant-canvas feel and Figma's clean panel layout. I wanted that same low-friction experience for pixel art and game sprites, basically Aseprite's workflow without the install, so I built Spearite.
It runs entirely in your browser. No signup, no server. Your work auto-saves locally, and you can export a .spearite file to move projects between machines.
For drawing you've got pencil, bucket, line, rectangle, ellipse, eraser, marquee, lasso, and magic wand for selections. Animation is a multi-frame timeline with onion skinning.
When you're done you can export PNG sprite sheets with JSON/XML metadata that drop straight into Unity, Godot, or whatever engine you're on. Shortcuts are Aseprite-compatible (H/B/E/G and so on), so your muscle memory carries right over.
It's an early v1 and built for game devs making sprites and animations. Try it out and let me know if you have any feedbacks.
