PixelCraft Beta Update - November 11/2/2025

Hello , I'm excited to share the latest improvements to PixelCraft!

New Features

Paint Mode (Custom Fullscreen)

I've completely redesigned the fullscreen experience! Instead of using the browser's standard fullscreen, I created a custom "Paint Mode" that:

• Activates with F11 or Ctrl+F (Cmd+F on Mac)
• Maximizes your canvas workspace
• Hides all distractions (headers, navigation)
• Adapts perfectly to your screen orientation (landscape/portrait)
• Features a prominent close button for easy exit

This gives you an immersive, distraction-free painting experience!

🔧 Critical Fixes

1. Persistent Login Issue - SOLVED! ✅

Problem: When you logged in with Keychain or Private Key, closed the tab, and returned later, you had to reconnect before burning STEEM.

Fixed: Login now persists correctly across sessions! Close your tab, come back anytime, and your authentication works immediately for all features including burning.

2. Zoom Issue - FIXED! 🔍

Problem: Zoom wasn't working correctly - it didn't zoom where your cursor was pointing.

Fixed: Zoom now centers precisely on your cursor position, making detailed pixel work much easier!

3. Smart Painting Detection 🖌️

Problem: When starting to paint, pixels would get selected unintentionally. It was hard to tell if you were painting or just pointing.

Fixed: I added intelligent detection that distinguishes between:

• Clicking = Place pixel
• Dragging = Pan the canvas
• Uses a smart threshold to detect your intention

No more accidental selections when painting!

🏗️ Technical Improvements

Behind the scenes, I've done major code refactoring:

• Extracted canvas logic into custom hooks for better performance
• Optimized rendering for smoother experience
• Enhanced mobile touch handling
• Improved backend analytics
