I found the name confusing, thinking this was a tool to create stipple effects or implemented a stipple effect algorithm, whereas it's the name given to the pixel art editor. It says so in the title and directly in the repo, it was just my oversight in not properly interpreting it.

I think the name comes from trying to be a pixel editor analogous to what After Effect is for video, thus the play on words.

Hi abetusk! The first tool I implemented in the program was the Stipple Pencil, which is a variant of the pencil that only colors over the target pixel when the mouse is pressed down, even if the cursor is dragged over other pixels thereafter. The pun was meant to be on that and the term "ripple effect".

However, if I could go back, I'd probably change the name to something more fitting to what the program actually is.
