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, or as iframe to embed everywhere you want. Try it yourself: https://inscribed.app Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEXE8-6yEzw Github: https://github.com/chunrapeepat/inscribed Hope you like it. any feedback is welcome. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

What a fantastic idea! I love using excalidraw and I've used it for making slides by just screenshotting and manually editing, this is so much nicer. I really like the example of following a flowchart as well. One small nit - in your video you use some naughty words, if you're looking to sell this I'd consider dropping that. I probably can't share the video with my colleagues, for example | |||||||||||||||||||||||

This looks great! I love that it builds on top of existing tools has so many kinds of export already. Thank you so much for sharing it - I'm always looking for good tools for quick animation and presentations. Like you, I'm a big fan of Keynote. It would be amazing to have Keynote-style smooth animation here too (tweening, easing curves, Magic Move, etc.), though I'm sure it would be a huge project in itself. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Super neat! I made something similar with tldraw for presentations at my company, definitely not as clean as this! I'll be sure to give it a try for my next one | |||||||||||||||||||||||

It's really a great tool, well done! I enjoy using Excalidraw, and this tool makes a lot of sense, especially with the gif feature. However, would developing such an application cause any licensing issues? | |||||||||||||||||||||||

I primarily use excalidraw via a plugin for obsidian, I wonder what amount of effort it would take to get it running on that. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

really nice! do you support onion-skinning for building smoother animations? Motion paths would be cool too. Ok enough ideas, it's a great project already! | |||||||||||||||||||||||
