Your browser is too old or not yet supported! And a link to Chrome frame, a retired Google product. Please use feature detection instead of sniffing the browser agent. My browser (IE11) is perfectly capable and supports HTML5 APIs fine (e.g. Canvas 2D).

i suspect they don't use feature detection because the GWT framework makes it a bit more difficult to do feature detection (its not impossible, but it does work against the "default" way of doing things in GWT).

The new JsInterop stuff we're adding to GWT 3.0 will make it a lot easier.

Would love a paid option of like $5-$10/month that gives me the actual source code so I can just take it and run it on my own stuff. Great work though!

That's really impressing, very easy and intuitive to use!

Thanks so much - we've spent a lot of time thinking about how to make the tool as intuitive as possible, happy to hear that we've succeeded.

I really like that it's using GWT too! You don't often see much GWT apps these days.

yeah, we had internal debates whether to use gwt or just js, gwt side won and we (most of us!) do not regret it :)

This is a really stellar app and the compiled JS is quite small. You guys should present at the next GWT conference or I/O.

I really like the interface and the timeline. I also like the learning tooltips. I think that we can learn a lot from your UI design. BTW I wonder if it is worthwhile to try and hook up an interconnect between this and our 3D modeler/animator/renderer: http://clara.io

thanks! clara.io looks awesome too, I played with it sometime ago when it was released.

it would be interesting to try to connect the tools somehow. plz write me to skavish at animatron.com

Why are passwords limited to 16 characters? That's unnerving.

Hm, we never thought about it! There's no limit in the database, just client-side restrictions on the input fields ... we'll have to consider.
