Strange about the embed code - that's how Vimeo provides it, so it's weird that it didn't work for you, but great that you managed to make it work in the end! Looking forward to reading the post :)

No problem :) Anyway, here's the post: http://jugad2.blogspot.in/2014/03/the-html5lib-python-librar...

Cool, thanks so much for writing about us :)

Cool, thanks! Here's the embed code:

Thanks for the fast response. Will write the post and update the comment here with the link to it. BTW, typo in your embed code: missing an "http:" in the value of the src attribute. Works after I add that, not without it.

it is not an issue. your browser will use protocol(http or https) it used to load page where you have embedded the video.

Looks interesting but an authoring tool is not something I want to run "in the cloud" and be dependant on a connection and a service that may or may not be there when I need it. Wouldn't invest much time in a tool that is not available for download, to be honest. Nevertheless it looks well done.

thanks! there are two ways to address it. first of all we will add offline support at some point, so you can work offline and when you are online it will sync itself with the cloud. another possibility we are considering is just to wrap it up into multiplatform desktop app which is technologically not is difficult to do these days.

Yep, I'd suggest looking at Light Table for ideas (or Atom).

>it is not an issue.

Was an issue for me, otherwise I would not have said so, obviously. See my above comment where I said "not without it". Also, I'm aware of this:

So it may have been some other issue, but was an issue, for sure.

If not confidential, a blog post about the tech used would be interesting.

It's already in the works, actually! We'll post it here on HN pretty soon.

The tool looks great and everything was really well done, but who is the customer for this? It seemed like it was for non-designers but when I open the editor I get a blank canvas and I have absolutely no idea where to start to make a professional looking animation. Seems like I would still need to hire a visual designer/graphic artist who would most likely use the tools they are already familiar with.

yeah, you are right. we will be adding lots of stuff to make it much easier for non-designer, libraries of ready to use artwork, characters, clips, sounds, effects etc.

IMO, this is key — although I'm biased, because I'm asking you to cater to me. However, I think I'm not alone: someone a little tech-savvy, but neither a true developer or designer. I think there are lots of people like me who have been forced to wear many hats at work and dabble in many technologies without a ton of expertise, so the ability to quickly meet a small need (in this case, an HTML5 animation) without tons of training or money is enormously valuable.

Slightly off-topic... Sorry. If you don't mind me asking, what country are you from? I ask because I find this strange, since here in the San Francisco bay area, I find it difficult to get 'away' from an internet connection. They're everywhere I go, whether I want it or not. I carry an internet connection on my smartphone and can tether to it whenever I need it. The only time I can't get an internet connection is whe…

And this is why anyone sane who doesn't live there hates your smug filter bubble, and why Android is still a pain to use once you go out of signal range.

Eh, I live in independence, Missouri (Pop. 117,000) and I too, "can hardly get away from the internet". It would certainly be available anywhere I wanted to use something like this, e.g. home, coffee shop, library, co-working space, etc... I guess if I was at the park or on a plane, it wouldn't work.
