In plain words

Drama is a Mac application that combines design, prototyping, and animation in one tool. Users draw scenes, connect them with transitions, and the app automatically generates morphing animations between scenes based on layer names. It's designed for designers and developers who want to create interactive prototypes with animated transitions without switching between multiple applications.

Introducing Drama. Design, prototype and animate in a single Mac app. To create a prototype in Drama: • Draw scenes. • Connect the scenes with transitions. • Drama will automatically create morphing animations between your scenes, based on layer names.

We are proud that some of the greatest companies in the world use Drama. Use our intuitive and powerful timeline editors to create beautiful animations. Drivers let you specify how changes in one layer affect other layers. Sync your transitions with gestures: the closer you are to a target, the closer the transition is to completion. From beziers and gradients to shadows and blurs…Drama has all the drawing tools and effects that you need. With our Drama Mirror app you can interact with your prototypes directly on iPhones and iPads. Just connect the Mirror app with Drama to instantly preview your designs. Or simply preview .drama files you receive by email or download online. Rotate and move…from drama.app

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
