Latest Aseprite is still available with free (as in beer) source code to compile, even if it is a bit heavy on the dependencies these days, including requiring that you install a special fork of Skia iirc. I paid for it to get the pre-compiled binaries for Windows, but on Linux and OSX I always compiled it myself anyway. On FreeBSD, that is my desktop OS of choice now, I use the ancient open source version of... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

I'd like to put together a POC to show some possible solutions. I know there are some tools out there such as https://pattern.monster/ and https://haikei.app/ which can generate images, but ideally this would be a library or at least an API I can hook into, so admins can just create templates in our admin application without having to go to an external site and manually knock a thumbnail up. Although not required,... Source: over 3 years ago
