Radi is a side project of mine that has kept me occupied for the better part of 2010. I'm very happy to finally have it in a half-presentable state, just in time for 2011! What's that they say about the first release -- "if you're not embarrassed, you waited too long?" Well, this is that one for me :) It's scary to put this app out there to the whole world in its current condition, but I feel like I've reached a dead…

>Although the app targets HTML publishing, the compositing core doesn't actually use any kind of browser engine like WebKit. Instead, it's a node-based GPU-accelerated compositing system of my own devising. Layers and effects are rendered using OpenGL. ...private implementation of the [DOM javascript API] etc.

You are one ridiculously industrious individual. Congrats, I can't wait to find an excuse to tinker with Radi. :)

I won't lie, I'm having a hard time using this app. I spent awhile looking for a create keyframe buton and almost gave up before realizing how to do animations. I still don't know how to build custom shapes with curves or how to draw shapes that exist for a short duration. When I published the canvas element it didn't animate in the browser.

Clearly you've solved a lot of interesting technical problems, but I feel kinda clueless while using it. As far as I know the only people who use the flash authoring environment these days are advertisers and animators (or designers building content for flex apps). So if you want to focus this, I'd say go after those people. When people do make flash sites in the authoring environment they usually rely heavily on simple onclick and gotoandplay statements.

I'm impressed with what I see, but I don't know what problem has been solved.

A truly incredible piece of software pavlov. Well done!

What does that phrase mean, "software pavlov"?

The OP's name is 'pavlov', and your parent should have included a comma.

Congratulations, you are about to be offered a lot of money from a big company. Do you take it? ... Or do you create a new software empire for the creative web development world to rival Adobe but built on open standards?

PS, If I was Apple I'd be buying this tomorrow, or I'd just amp up development of my own software, probably basing it on the new iAd Developer tools which were recently released.
