Questions & Answers

As answered by people managing Gribble.
  1. How would you describe the primary audience of Gribble?

    Hobbyist pixel artists, indie game developers making sprites and tiles, and people who want to draw pixel art on their phone or tablet without losing work when they switch to a computer.

  2. Which are the primary technologies used for building Gribble?

    Primary technologies are TypeScript with a Firebase backend.

  3. What makes Gribble unique?

    Gribble is one pixel art studio across phone, tablet and browser. Your projects sync between devices, so you can sketch a sprite on your phone and finish it on a laptop.

    It covers layers, frame animations with onion skin, sprite sheets, timelapse, community features to grow your brand and user friendliness.

  4. Why should a person choose Gribble over its competitors?

    Most pixel art tools are tied to one platform, but Gribble runs on iOS, Android and the web with the same account and projects. The free tier includes every tool and export, and upgrading to pro gives sky high limits to cloud storage and animation limits.

    And as a bonus, Gribble has that cozy pixel UI made by developers who cares about the retro craft.

  5. What's the story behind Gribble?

    The developer, napahlm, started it as a side project since there was no good tool for turning pixel art into code. And no good tool at all to play with on the bus. So a prototype turned into a tool for the website itself to improve its UI, turning that into pixel art components, and the ball kind of just kept rolling.

    It started out in 2025, and was released as apps during the 2026 Shipaton where Gribble made it to semifinals.
