I have some suggestions (lemmy.world)

  1. Show the timer for all the succeeding stacked pixels. Currently, you can only see the timer for the first pixel. I propose that the timer should be shown for all of the pixels in the stack, and not only the first.
  2. A neat feature that r/place had was that you could click on a pixel and see the username of the account that placed it. I propose the same feature.
  3. Consider creating a permanent canvas. It could be neat to see how a large, permanent canvas evolves over a long period of time.

If any of these suggestions require the modification of underlying code, and are not simple config changes, then I will suggest them upstream -- please let me know.

To answer some of these:

  1. That sounds like a neat idea, try searching through Pxls's github issues to see if it's already suggested or not
  2. That already exists actually! Shift + Click (or hold down on mobile) on a pixel to get who placed it :)
  3. Pxls runs a permanent canvas already for year-round fun at pxls.space

a decent number of pxls regulars use a userscript to track timer on pixels 2-6. im unsure if there was ever any consideration to add that as a native feature though as its inefficient to stack pixels anyways so the extra timer is only useful to tell you if the next pixel in the stack is sooner than a full cooldown.
