#Pixel-art to CSS with react

Handy and fun pixel art tool, where your drawing will be transformed to CSS.

The project is built with React, Redux and ImmutableJS. Trying to avoid side-effects in a functional way of programming.

You will be able to load and save drawings, undo redo your actions, change grid properties, share your drawings and download them, everything in a very easy and fast way.

See it live at pixelart-to-css-react

Help me to improve it, share and enjoy :)
