With the plethora of webGL, canvas, css3d apps out there, the exceptional feature of this app is the user experience and interface. Every click feels intuitive and snappy and if I want to complete an action, it feels seamless. Nice job, seriously keep up the good work.

Thanks. Making the UI was a big part of the fun.

Julian, that's very, very impressive. How long did it take to get this together?

Hard to say, it was a side project I did in my spare time. All I know is that I started working on it 4 months ago, and spend my whole summer vacations working on it.

Not compatible with Firefox. Too bad.

Seriously, it's just ridiculous. There is no legitimate reason whatsoever to make hard browser whitelist like that in 2013 -- without button like "use anyway" or something. It hard-blocks even the new Opera, while the new Opera uses the same exactly engine as Chrome. And you can't just simply spoof user agent in old-school way, no, it uses client-side detection, so you should make GreaseMonkey script just to run the app. On the other hand it doesn't warn Chrome users with HW-acceleration disabled, and just breaks. It's IE6 story all over again.

I really love the hero unit. It's a great example of an animation that tells a short story, and gives you a feel for the app. First you see a flat rectangle with drag handles, which sets your expectation, 2D WYSIWYG editor. The rectangle animates into a 4 sided cube, 2D becomes 3D, it's a 3D tool. Then the cube breaks into 2 angle brackets, the output is just HTML and CSS. I'm left with a nice little feeling :) Aweso…

I had totally missed the fact that it ends as two angle brackets! Very smart logo and indeed very good way to introduce the product.

Me too, that's clever.

A codepen demo I made to introduce Tridiv capabilities : http://codepen.io/juliangarnier/pen/hzDAF

Holy moly. I'm going to throw this at anyone that doubts the capabilities of HTML5/CSS3

Please throw it at the vast majority of mobile (smartphone) browser developers while you're at it.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

While it's possible, the output reminds me of code/application generators of the past. That (hopefully) means that as technology progresses, we'll get better abstractions. And then the cycle will repeat itself. :)

Can you cite some examples of these generators you speak of?
