@matthewowens1993 @matthew_owens1993 your onion skinning implementation is a standout feature most web editors skip, but I'd love to know how you handle canvas redraw performance when stacking multiple layers with animation frames.
Canvas onion skinning in the browser is neat until you hit performance limits with 64x64 frames. Did you test frame rates with more than 10 layers active?
The onion skinning implementation is a nice touch for frame-by-frame animation, but how does it handle performance when you're working with a 64x64 canvas and multiple layers? I've seen similar tools bog down with larger sprite sizes.
