Great job! It took me 5 min to redo a animated logo that took me a few hours 3 years ago with Adobe. I will use it.
I'm delighted to hear that you found the tool helpful.

#202Played with it for a couple of minutes, amazing work! one bug, after pressing alt+space, it causes the alt key to be always pressed, which makes everything you move to get copied (as if the user is pressing alt)
Need further info, your browser version and os?

#203Looks great and works well. Some small suggestions: - Please add some keyboard shortcuts for common actions, i.e., cmd/ctrl + z to undo (+ shift to redo), delete/backspace to delete, cmd/ctrl + d to duplicate, cmd/ctrl + a to select all. - Increase rotate cursor affordance - it's currently relatively tiny.
You mean something like a cheat sheet to show all the shortcut keys?

#204This looks really well done! I was able to create a simple animation easily even though I don't know anything about animation software. By the way, your "Features" page is really well made. I would showcase those features on the homepage. I didn't find the list of features until I clicked the link in one of your comments on HN. You can also make your project more appealing on the homepage by including a looping demo…
Thanks for your suggestions. The feature demos were a labor of love, and it's wonderful to know they're appreciated.

#205I love this! I was hit with a wave of nostalgia. I used to spend hours and hours making flash animations. This tool is super intuitive :D I haven't touched an animation tool since I was like 11 years old, and it just works.
I'm delighted that Trangram brought back those memories for you. Hope you are enjoying creating and sharing your designs. Happy animating!

#206Excellent job! I recently fired up the latest version of Adobe flash and found myself entirely unable to remember how to even do a simple keyframe animation, your editor manages to let me do that intuitively!
I'm definitely going to have a closer look at this in the future!

#207Well done for shipping! I'm really impressed by the tool - it's intuitive and like a very light-weight After Effects. I think just re-designing the landing page would make a huge difference, very quickly. I think currently it lets down what is a well-crafted design / animation tool. Get rid of the white and teal, and the default system fonts. The looom site is a lovely example ( https://www.iorama.studio/looom ).
Thank you for your kind words and feedback! We're constantly looking for ways to enhance the user experience, and your input will definitely be taken into consideration.

#208I’ve not looked at the tool, but are animations driven by CSS, and if so do you embed the CSS into the SVG? Where I work we’re looking at SVG animation tools for some graphics and the majority appear to be lottie-like tools dependent on JavaScript and other plugins which we can’t use.
Thank you for your interest! At the moment, Trangram does not support exporting SVG animation files.

#209Opening the website with Firefox 123.0.1 on Windows 10 x64, the webpage slowed my browser to a crawl. After a quick look into it, it seems it didn't play well with the Angular Devtools extension[1]; you might want to look into it. Interesting tool nonetheless!

Thanks for the feedback. Will investigate it.

#210Very nice. One question: I see the submission mentions SVG animation but I don't see any way of exporting as SVG. Did I miss something, or was this just meant as a plan for the future?
At the moment, Trangram does not support exporting SVG animation files.
By svg animation, I means Trangram internally handle all shapes as svg objects, just as you can edit the path data under geometry section and Trangram supports basic svg file import.
