Inamate – Open-source 2D animation tool (alternative to Adobe Animate)
Adobe recently announced the end-of-life for Adobe Animate, then walked it back after community backlash. Regardless of what Adobe decides next, the message was clear: animators who depend on proprietary tools are one corporate decision away from losing their workflow. 2D animation deserves an open-source option that isn't a toy. We've been working with a professional animator to guide feature priorities and ensure we're building something that actually fits real production workflows - not just a tech demo.

Inamate is an open-source 2D animation tool designed as an alternative to proprietary solutions like Adobe Animate. Built with input from professional animators, it aims to support real production workflows rather than serve as a basic demonstration. The tool addresses concerns about dependency on corporate software by providing animators with an independent, community-driven option that they can rely on long-term without risk of discontinuation.

I made a free animator. Think Adobe Illustrator but for animation2024 · trangram.com · ▲738See 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. The goal is to make creating vector graphics and animations as simple as opening a browser. There's nothing to install, no account required, and projects are saved automatically in your browser, so nothing is uploaded to a server. I use Trangram every day for my own illustrations (and occasionally animations). One of the most rewarding parts of…

Talanoa▲346Hi 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…

Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
