On my latest mobile safari I’m getting an error: Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information). How come?

what version of iOS/device are you on? My guess is I am using a browser API that is not supported by your version of Safari.

Hi HN, My name is Rahul Sarathy and I posted TextFrame a few months ago on HN ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29234636 ) as a tool to create animated technical papers. After gathering feedback from the community, I found that the best use case for my tool was for creating tutorials. I am proud to share my next iteration as a tool to create animated product tutorials. Hopefully you can find use in it to create…

Well done!

One question, the orginal demo was amazing in itself, is that technology/source still available somewhere?

Can the tutorials be embedded into a support article?

yes, the tutorials can be embedded! If you email me at rahul@textframe.app I can walk you through how to do it.

If this is a joke, it's pretty solid. If it's not, though, why not use a textframe to show them:D

Just to add on to this, why not offer both?

Haha I totally missed that. I’m so used to onboarding people via email/video calls.

One of my demo tutorials shows exactly how to embed!

You can actually still make any of the previous technical animations using the current software. It's just that the outward pages are geared to demo the customer tutorial use case
