   I made a free animator. Think Adobe Illustrator but for animation▲738

   See animations created by me using Trangram: https://www.trangram.com/showcase I started working on Trangram 7 years ago with a simple idea: a free browser-based vector editor that combines illustration and animation in one place.

    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.
