This is great! If you add lottie export, I could see this tool become popular among web and mobile app devs.

Thanks. Your feedback is valuable and will be taken into account as we continue to improve the tool.

Is audio possible, and if not, plans for it?

Audio functionality is not currently on the roadmap. Our primary focus is ensuring the sustainability and user-friendliness of Trangram.

I love this, I drew a triangle, clicked somewhere else on the timeline moved the triangle and it worked. So intuitive, just how it should be.

Glad you found it intuitive! Keep creating!

When on the "My Designs" list, if you choose the vertical three dots way on the right, Delete is spelled Detele. Other than that, well even with that, you've come up with an amazing app!!

Oh, this is a creative one, I don't even know how I did that. Thank you for letting me know.

Excellent 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!

Thank you! Delighted to hear that you find Trangram intuitive. Looking forward to having you explore it further in the future!

This is super cool, gret job! How long did it take for you to reach this version?

Thank you! Well, it's hard to say, because the first version of Trangram differed significantly from what you see now. Additionally, I've been involved in various projects over the years.

Very impressive. I love it. How are you going to evolve it? Would you mind sharing your plan?

Thank you for your kind words! I'm continuously striving to improve Trangram. Currently, I'm focusing on enhancing existing features and ensuring a smoother user experience overall. Rest assured, I'll continue to add new features to Trangram in the future, as stated on the https://www.trangram.com/about page.

I still mourn the disappearance of the game development and distribution scene that Flash made possible. It seems like all we have these days are walled-garden app stores filled with pay-to-win, ad-filled games.

From a gaming perspective, I agree that Flash was excellent. The current era of ad-filled pay to win games does suck.

..hence the reason apple killed it ;)

Yes, it is wrong. Mostly. Or just some minor reason. It was largely a fallacy perpetuated by Apple. The same fallacy used to more recently justify the app store exclusivity, aimed at preserving their enclosed ecosystem under the guise of protecting users from potential malware threats. While it's true that Flash posed security risks, not just on mobile but across platforms. Acrobat pdf readers continue to grapple wit…

I'd forgotten how many they had killed off. Adobe actually ended up abandoning their Figma acquisition https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38681861 You could add Lightroom to your list of survivors. Autodesk employed a similar acquire, absorb some features and then retire strategy, in the CAD 2D/3D space.

Computer Associates, Symantec - lots of companies that liked to buy up and kill whole market segments :/
