Great effort and reason to create this! I'm accustomed to using the Magic Wand tool in Paint.net[1] and Pinta[2] to select pixels based on color. Any chance you could add that functionality?
The name of this project brought many memories of the HP 48G to the forefront of my mind, after so many years. Its 1 bpp pixelated icons and drawings were indeed called GROBs - there are collections of these online. What a coincidental but fine name for a pixel-capable graphics editor.
Very actively developing this project, so hopefully it'll become a suitable replacement relatively soon. Please open GitHub issues or PRs if you have specific requests, happy to help.

It lists Magic Wand under Features [1] https://github.com/groverburger/grobpaint/blob/e249c7553f4c8...
Yep, magic wand already exists with contiguous/global toggle and tolerance slider. : )
Thanks! Not sure how I missed that!

Haha glad it brought back fond memories! Grob is just the nickname of my username GroverBurger. Fun coincidence.
Looks nice, thanks for sharing.
I'm using Affinity v1 for some specific photo manipulation work, and the workflow is a bit convoluted.
Very tempting to make a specialized tool like this for that.
I'm still looking for something like paint.net on MacOS, any recommendations?
Pinta is the closest I've found, though I've gotten pretty familiar with paint.net and there's small differences that make me feel slower using Pinta.
I'm glad to see entrants in this space!
I liked Krita a little more than Pinta as a replacement, but for the same reasons it feels slow.
It's really a shame the Paint.net author is so devoted to being Windows only.

Grob is either Slavic cognate for "coffin" or German for "rough" :)
Neat! Glad it's a cognate for cool words haha :)
Looks minimalistic and nice to use. I might try making a pixel icon for my app with it.
Let me know how it goes!
Do you really need that Python script? I think you could end up with a nicer user experience if you rewrote those 264 lines to JS with Electron.
Let's not encourage even more Electron apps, please.
What is this if not an Electron app with the Electron parts written in Python?
