SlackPaint v0.6.0-alpha

SlackPaint v0.6.0-alpha

SlackPaint, is a grid-based emoji and image painter designed for making emoji compositions. (not limited to useage on slack)

How to install?

All you need to do is install the .exe file :)
If you insist on running the python file yourself you will most likely need to install Pillow;
This can be done with pip install pillow

Features

• Customizable grid size (rows and columns)
• Paint with color blocks or imported image tiles
• Add and remove emoji/image entries dynamically
• Live preview of emoji or image swatches
• Export grid as Slack/Discord-compatible emoji text
• Save and load project files for continued work

Known Limitations

• No undo/redo functionality (planned for a future release)
• Custom emojis must be manually added to Slack
• Transparent images may render with artifacts
• no support for saving and loading images only works with basic colours

Coming Soon

• Image-to-grid auto-conversion
• Better saving/loading (I will try to keep support for the current save files so your save files don't get outdated)
