  • Cool project. Cringemaxxing demo, just like this comment.

  • Interesting, I do a bit of animation in XR for pedagogy. I can easily recognize patterns, e.g. stacking animations one after the other, classic parameters like duration, easing.

    I'm wondering though if, compared to what I already know (e.g. https://aframe.io/docs/1.7.0/components/animation.html ) how this is better. Maybe a "renderer" there could be outputting AFrame animations instead (itself based on AnimeJS, quite popular).

    It could be useful to discuss scenarii but storyboard is usually sufficient.

    I'd be curious how newcomers take it up. I think for (JavaScript) the syntax is pretty straightforward but for others I'm not sure.

  • The examples for the M5 exploit and the other stuff immediately make me think that the author is an idiot. I'm not calling you an idiot - I'm saying that if I were to read a technical article and the first thing I'm presented with is an absurdly stupid emoji-person animation that makes no sense and has no purpose and adds literally nothing, I would just immediately exit that website. This goes for all of the examples, and the fact that it's all so clearly written by LLMs isn't helping either.

  • This would be much more useful if it wasn't stickmen but animating components (which would allow to do "launch video" tier animations) on boxes, and websites. This would allow for people to create tiny components and not put videos. I feel like stickmen are a "nice to have".

  • This is just the weirdest subject choice for a demo

  • Oh, I like the features a lot but I don't like the aesthetics.

    Maybe that's just the examples but the animations are not appealing to look at.

  • This 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 a well-made powerpoint presentation as a starting point.
