Thanks for sharing!
This looks super cool. Will definitely look towards some of the examples here as features I can implement.

#13I 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.
Please don't be an aggressive jerk on HN. The damage it does to community far outweighs any benefit it has, no matter how in the right you are, or feel you are.
It's true that booster comments aren't helpful in the end, but people often post them without the slightest idea that they're doing anything wrong. They don't deserve to be piled on. Also, vsarathy didn't upvote this submission; that's not the mark of a typical manipulator. The benefit of the doubt would have gone a long way here!

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.
That's not true! Of course it can be frustrating to try to get attention when so many other things are competing for it, and when randomness plays a large role. But it's simply not the case that most things make the front page as a result of vote manipulation, or similar things.

Wow, @bryans, open mouth, insert foot.

Please don't pile on with further nastiness. It helps nothing.

#17I found the Bitcoin paper example to be very compelling - really awesome work! You have a great eye for design.
I signed up and liked the familiar Notion-style interface, however I had some difficulty figuring out how to create the same caliber of animations as your examples, and get them to sync up correctly with the text - would be nice to get a bit more help when opening the animation editor for the first time.
Edit: also not able to delete blocks and re-order, and I am still trying to figure out the controls to switch between editing different animation steps.

Thank you!
And yes, the editor view is not fully intuitive unfortunately. You can delete blocks similar to how you delete blocks in notion - dragging a rectangle over them.
If you are having trouble creating content for an idea you have, feel free to email me at rahul@textframe.app. I can help you figure out any other issues you have.

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.
Just wanted to interject an apology for the way this community member responded. For what it's worth, I think it's great that you're here in support of your son, and this project is really cool! You raised a good one!

Awesome, I actually figured out how to use the animation editor by making multiple animation blocks in a row. Once I figured you could copy/move shapes/text/etc from previous animation blocks to the current frame, it made perfect sense and I can now see the full utility of this. I'll keep playing around and email you if I make anything interesting :)
