FoldMation – Interactive origami learning and creation

Hi, I've created an application where you can follow step by step origami fold instructions, and a Creator where you can make these interactive folds. On comparing to video instructions, you have the ability to quickly skip/rewind steps and replay a complicated step many times. On the creation side, there have been one or two attempts at this before, but those solutions rely on mouse drags as the user interface. This greatly limited the kinds of folds possible.

In plain words

FoldMation is an interactive origami learning platform with two core features: a step-by-step instruction viewer that allows users to skip, rewind, and replay fold steps, and a Creator tool for building custom interactive folding sequences. The Creator uses a domain-specific language with commands and keywords instead of mouse-dragging, enabling more complex fold designs. It is designed for origami enthusiasts and educators seeking an alternative to video tutorials, as well as for creators wanting to author and share interactive origami instructions.

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hi, I've created an application where you can follow step by step origami fold instructions, and a Creator where you can make these interactive folds. On comparing to video instructions, you have the ability to quickly skip/rewind steps and replay a complicated step many times. On the creation side, there have been one or two attempts at this before, but those solutions rely on mouse drags as the user interface. This greatly limited the kinds of folds possible. The foldMation Creator uses commands, keywords and values to compose a domain specific language/step and provides a (relatively speaking) easy to use user interface to compose the steps. For those interested in using the Creator, please go through the tutorial at the top of the create page. Btw, the DSL for foldMation uses https://github.com/mationai/mation-spec. I created it since I couldn't find anything out there that is similar, allowing me to specify a well structured data with English-like readable syntax. Let me know what you think?
