   Inscribed, create stop motion animation and slide powered by Excalidraw▲107

   Inscribed.app, a slide-based tool for creating stop motions animation and slides. I've been writing a lot of tech content lately and needed a way to create a stop motion to visualize ideas for my blog. I'm a big fan of Excalidraw and Apple Keynote, so this tool is an attempt to combine the UX of the two together. Sketch like Excalidraw with a slide making interface (with shortcuts) like Apple Keynote. Features: - keyboard shortcuts: copy/paste/del, up/down navigation - adjust document size - drag and drop images - google fonts integration - presentation mode - export as GIF,…

    Create presentations with smart animations using Excalidraw▲12

    I often create presentations where elements need to move (animate) from one slide to the next. This is great for explaining algorithms, workflows, or anything that benefits from dynamic visuals. I used to rely on Figma prototypes with smart animations for this, but I wanted a way to do it in Excalidraw—maybe even more conveniently. So I made an Excalidraw fork which helps you present "frames" and interpolates animations between them.
