#42I recall MM Flash quite fondly. But what is the best-use case here? Where would this deploy?

You could've commented literally anything else instead of this but instead went with a zero-content apparent criticism of the web page.
Reproducing cringy sexist bullshit is a choice deserving of criticism.
Its the plague of western people thinking they have the moral high ground over other cultures and nations. In the place where I grew up this kind of scene would be considered normal. But you must be the one who dictates what is right and what is wrong, don't you?

maybe "animations" would be a better term
Re: Markdy: Like Mermaid Diagrams, but for Motion
#46This is an interesting concept, but I would rework the demos to show content that people might actually want to use. Transitions of text content describing a product or service, like bullet points that animate in sequentially comes to mind. Applying motion to text content is not something that is easy to get right, but simple and brief motions can be very effective. I would use something like content you might see in…
Agree that it might sell better if we see the typical examples we'd normally see in say a vector driven 2D animation from various industries.
1. ProductSpec sent to Factory with multiple Products being created, packed, shipped, distribution centers, last-mile, receiving
2. Client -> API -> Edge -> Business layer -> DataSource dataflow.
3. Compliance training scenario videos. Security training. "Joe needs to share internal code. He uploads it to pastebin and emails the link to the team. What should Joe do instead?"
4. Education, can this work for illustrative problem solving? Deriving quadratic formula by completing squares?
This could also use a FF or Rewind timeline or some kind of time control like "Play from Line 24".

Why are you passionately defending this? I doubt the author cares much, it's clearly an example that came about through vibe coding.
It's not core to the tech/product, people think it's off-putting, why not change it?
Hacker News loves to talk about being amazing business-people and "understanding the customer" but somehow that gets dropped for things like this.

#48This is both awful and essentially the future, By that I mean its raw now as its in the beginning but this gave me flashbacks to the flash era of the web that had so much creativity across it. Once you are able to add more assets in the place of emoji's this could really take off especially in the younger users. Instead of sending an emoji you'd instruct an LLM to create you one of these to send. Well done.
Macromedia Flash vibes. Don’t stop.
Hey don't bring Flash into this

Please do tell me which culture finds it acceptable to throw rocks at people because they happen to like the same woman.
Even ignoring the unnecessary language, sexist content, gender stereotyping, and so on and so forth, just the warrantless violent act in that story is enough for people to object to. And enough people have objected that there isn’t any good reason for the author to keep that animation included. Particularly when it doesn’t actually demonstrate this library in a way that literally any of demo couldn’t. So why even defend it?

No-one's mentioned that anything's sexist, or how. You're filling in the blanks to create content where there wasn't any.
The fact that EVERYBODY here sees it but you, tells you that perhaps you should take a step back and try to understand... it might be YOU who don't get it at all...
Folks, we're now 5 levels deep on this thread and I still haven't heard it spelled out what's wrong.
I see "it's obvious" "cringey" and allcaps being used. Being able to vocalize specific problems and having the courage to clearly state it is a life skill.
Please be specific about the problem and why. Bonus points for replacement suggestions.
The boys-fight-for-girl is a very typical movie trope and this is a scene-based product. Maybe that's why they defaulted to it.
