about cmiley
2003
The very first 16×16 icons, drawn in a tiny Java applet on GeoCities. One palette, one frame, one pixel at a time.
2006
Cmiley moved to its own domain. A PHP gallery appeared, powered by CodeIgniter, with tags, ratings, and an online pixel editor built on Prototype.js.
2010
Animated GIF support landed. Artists could build multi-frame icons with per-frame delays, and the editor gained a timeline.
2012
A fresh coat of paint: responsive Bootstrap layout, new themes, and a sprite-sheet preview for animations.
2013
The last wave of classic-era artwork before the site went quiet. Now being rebuilt in Laravel.
