I've been trying out KolourPaint for a short while now. It's basically MS Paint, but with some nicely implemented features. I'm using it to experiment with pixel art, a job for which KolourPaint is almost perfectly suited. (Ironically enough, the power of Gimp or Photoshop counts for very little here!)

It strikes me that this would be the perfect starting point to make an absolutely killer pixel art app. Throw in some isometric brushes; more flexible colour palettes; some kind of clone tool; build in pixel fonts; special pixel fonts for type at angles; maybe a library so you can drop in details you made earlier; maybe layers... well, the brainstorm starts here!

The only thing stopping me is my utter lack of programming skills!

What do you think though, good idea? Stupid? Is there already an app for this?
