StoryMotion, hand-drawn motion graphics editor based on Excalidraw

In the maker’s words, at launch

StoryMotion, a hand-drawn motion graphics editor for educational content creators. --- 5 months ago, I launched Inscribed.app [1], a tool based on Excalidraw for making step-by-step explanation (like slides) that I can easily embed to explain concepts on my blog. [1]…

  StoryMotion is a whiteboard animation editor that combines the editing experience of Excalidraw and Keynote to make explainer animations. Everything is fully editable, both the visual elements and the timing of motion effects. Recently I added an AI feature that lets users upload documents like images or PDFs and generates both the visuals and the animation in a few minutes. I hope you find this useful. All feedback and comments are welcome.

  Inscribed, create stop motion animation and slide powered by Excalidraw2025 · inscribed.app · ▲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,…

  I made a free animator. Think Adobe Illustrator but for animation2024 · trangram.com · ▲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. 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…

  Create presentations with smart animations using Excalidraw2025 · github.com · ▲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. Video demo (detecting cycles in a graph): https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/62033fca-03ca-489... Instructions, tips, and…

  Term.everything – Run any GUI app in the terminal▲1,094

  I made a built-from scratch Wayland Compositor to display any GUI app* in the terminal! I think there is a lot of unexplored potential in custom Wayland compositors, a lot of really cool things you can embed existing applications into! So, I started with embedding apps into the terminal because that is the easiest input/output (output is just utf-8 and I use the great `chafa` library for that, and I just read from stdin for the input). If you have any other ideas for cool Wayland compositors, let me know. I purposedly wrote 80% the app in Typescript to appeal to the most developers and…

  I recreated Windows XP as my portfolio▲1,032

  Years ago I stumbled across a basic version of this concept and it stuck with me. I knew if I was ever going to take on such a project, it would need to be flawless, but without coding experience it was just another idea that would never happen. By the end of 2024, as AI coding tools exploded everywhere, I finally had a way to make it real. I started from zero knowledge and spent months collaborating with AI agents as a learning experience. Every pixel and every function went through me. The AI translated what I asked for into code, but every decision was human. I didn't use existing OS…
