Create pixel art and sprite animations with Fizzy, an open-source editor for desktop platforms.

About fizzy
fizzy is an open-source framework written in Zig for building editors and desktop or web apps. Its host app owns only a window, a frame loop, a layout and a document model. Features such as the file tree, tabs, text editing and image viewing are plugins registered against a versioned SDK. Pixel art and sprite animation come from the pixi plugin, which the site says is where fizzy started and is now a plugin in the store.
fizzy runs natively on macOS, Linux and Windows, and a web build compiled to WebAssembly runs in a browser without installation. Store plugins are fetched and installed on demand, and the site says a plugin built for a different SDK version is rejected when it loads instead of crashing. The project is pre-1.0 and described as moving fast, so its APIs and features may change. Pricing is not stated.
