A small tool copies web animations from a screen recording
A portfolio site builder spent more than 30 minutes trying to recreate a mouse click animation from another website. Changing settings and trying different libraries still did not produce the exact result.
A new tool takes a of the desired motion and creates the and needed to rebuild it. In the test case, the target animation was recorded, given to the tool, and turned into usable rebuild instructions in under one minute.
The builder of the tool treated this as a strong sign that the product idea solves a real problem. The tool was introduced by one of its co-founders, who is looking for other slow and frustrating parts of copying motion design.
Key points
- A web animation took more than 30 minutes to copy by hand.
- The tool uses a as its input.
- It produces a and for rebuilding the motion.
- One test produced usable instructions in under one minute.
- The example comes from a co-founder, so it should be treated as an early product signal.
