PixiEditor is a lightweight Pixel art editor. The project has started in late 2017, I am building it since. A few months ago I released a beta version, which gained some attention and more people are working on it, I am super happy about it, but it is still far from the desired state! I have big plans for it and I need more people that could help a little and learn a lot in the process.

I am preparing it for this year's Hacktoberfest, so it's a friendly place for first-timers and advanced coders. The project is written in C# and WPF, however, we have plans to migrate to Avalonia before the next major version.

If you are interested I highly recommend joining our Discord :)

Avalonia? avaloniaui.net/?

That looks very interesting. Is there a demo for an application that runs on Linux?

Have you tried to use Avalonia under Linux (for a GUI application)?

There is a branch with part of application rewritten to Avalonia, but at the time I wrote it, framework lacked some functions, so I stopped. Therefore there is no demo. However I'll resume rewriting it some day soon.
