## What it is
Fizzy is a cross-platform, open-source modular editor written in Zig that starts as an empty shell and loads compiled plugins to provide functionality. Its flagship plugin, pixi, turns it into a pixel art editor with animation frames, sprite sheet slicing, and atlas packing for game development.

## Use cases
- edit pixel art sprites for my game
- create animation frames for a 2d character
- pack sprites into an atlas for my game engine
- slice an existing sprite sheet into tiles
- try a pixel art editor in the browser
- develop plugins for a modular editor in Zig

## When to avoid
- you need a mature, stable tool for production art pipelines — fizzy is in early development
- you need advanced raster image editing beyond pixel art
- you require Photoshop/Aseprite-level feature depth

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: experimental
- function: editor, gui, image-processing, plugin-system, animation
- domain: graphics, cross-platform
- platform: cross-platform, windows, browser
- tags: pixel-art, zig, imgui, dvui, sprite-atlas, modular-editor, plugin-sdk, 2d, game-development, gamedev, macos, linux
