Hi HN,

My name is Rahul Sarathy and I created TextFrame, a no-code platform to create animated written content. I've linked an example here where I use TextFrame to animate the Bitcoin white paper.

You can check out more examples are https://textframe.app/examples

If you're interested, feel free to sign up and play around with the software.

Thanks for the correction. Edited the post.

Congrats ! I think you should make sure an animation stops before the next one starts, or something similar. I am a burst scroller (read the full page, then scroll), and sometime I have to be very careful about how much I need to scroll to not trigger 2+ animations at the same time. Maybe an indicator somewhere the show where animations would happen so that I can control my scroll ?

I can see how this would be really useful to better explain technical content and make long form content more engaging.

You could have just made that sentence part of your pitch, instead of attempting this little scam where you pretend that you're a different person. Next time, perhaps use an account with a different last name, or one that made a comment more recently than 2012. Or maybe just sell the community on the merits of your product, instead of trying to scam them at all.

Very cool. I was impressed with the no-code aspect - especially for WYSIWYG based tech writers.

Have you considered integrating with DocFX, Jekyll, Read The Docs and the ilk. I'd think for a lot of Tech Docs where we have a ton of flow diagrams, would be interesting.

This is almost always how it is sadly. Either this or you have to know someone that can submit it for you etc. It’s sad but it’s how it is.

I've had this HN id since 2012 and I can assure you that I am not the author of this post. I am related to Rahul though - he's my son.
