i havent been drawing that much recently because i've been working on making my own image editor :). the biggest hurdle im facing right now is concepting the ui, so far i've made like 4 mockups... I've already made the file extension for it and a general program layout for handling images and stuff

im using webp compression for the file type (which is just a webp file's image data embedded in the file) but it's pretty efficient on size. the big things I plan to add are text boxes and image masking, something that paint/.net doesn't have, as well as some quality of life additions whatever

progress so far: altered the mockup a little. some weird gradient rendering stuff and the horrible mess of how im attempting to do ui

kind of buggy so far but text handling is complicated so give it like a day ill figure it out

i recoded like all of it so I could clean it up better, this reimplement let me add highlighting and a visible cursor and whatnot. To even add the highlighting it required me to finally code a proper input system where i gave support for hotkeys :) in the future you'll be able to reconfigure these
