1. Check Out Boords. Price: $12-$24/mo Platforms: Mac, Windows, Linux. Online SaaS products are quickly becoming “the norm” for software. I don’t think desktop programs will go away but we are seeing more web-based programs like Boords that offer great solutions.
2. Pixilart - A free pixel art drawing app. I just found this really cool app. It seems to have most functionalities you need for pixel art, including animation, and it's free. I know Asperite is the go-to but what's the difference?
