We don't plan/want/could be forced into supporting older IEs. For Opera and Safari, we've never tested them but the gap shouldn't be huge.

The Piskel editor is purely built in **JavaScript, HTML and CSS**. It uses Canvas extensively for displaying all them pretty sprites.
We also use the following **libraries** :
2014-03-17 00:25:20 +04:00
* [spectrum](https://github.com/bgrins/spectrum) : awesome standalone colorpicker
* [gifjs](http://jnordberg.github.io/gif.js/) : generate animated GIFs in javascript, using webworkers
2014-04-11 03:14:07 +04:00
* [jszip](https://github.com/Stuk/jszip) : create, read and edit .zip files with Javascript
* [canvas-toBlob](https://github.com/eligrey/canvas-toBlob.js/) : shim for canvas toBlob
* [jquery](http://jquery.com/) : used sporadically in the application
* [bootstrap-tooltip](http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/#tooltips) : nice tooltips
As well as some **icons** from the [Noun Project](http://thenounproject.com/) :
* Folder by Simple Icons from The Noun Project
* (and probably one or two others)
