Hey! Thanks for the feedback :D

I think a Fill function will be added at some point, it should be relatively easy to implement!
Layers are kind of on the roadmap, but pretty far down the line, I'd like to have object placement first
Yeah, metadata should be doable with objects!
I may look into supporting zoom on the tiles panel, it might be kinda tough the way it's set up now
oof, the tileset is cutoff because I was planning on putting the object panel underneath, but I think maybe separating it into another tab or something would be best. I'll get rid of it for now to maximize that panel!
I'll look into menu commands as well - Dunno if it's possible with the framework I'm using
I've been thinking about how I can support Undo/Redo - a portion of the editor may have to be rewritten, but I think it'd be worth it.

Posting here is super fine, but if you'd like to post

I wondered if that was why that was happening. If so, I think that's totally fine as long as you can zoom and pan inside the tileset window. (Indeed, I suspect a lot of tilesets are small and need to be zoomed-in to be usable anyway, like 8x8 and 16x16 tilesets - you'd want to see them larger than that anyway for easy selection.)

Since you've already got JSON saving/loading in place, I'll bet you could just bump off a JSON save to a stack of strings after every edit, and when you hit undo, pull that string from the stack and load it. You're already got the hard part done - serializing the map data.

Looking forward to the next version!
