I imagine using this tool in combination with an art program could be really useful for folks targeting TV-connected retro platforms: https://mausimus.itch.io/shaderglass

A screenshot showing the Retro Glass tool placed above an Aseprite window, rendering the in-progress pixel art as if were being displayed on a CRT instead of a modern screen.
