wami, the Web App to Manipulate Images

➡️ Open the demo ⬅️

wami is an image manipulation demo application. It is an installable web app (PWA) specifically made to demonstrate that web technologies can be used to create desktop apps that feel like platform-specific apps.

Note: wami is under development, expect bugs and cross-browser compatibility issues.
