I always say 'no' when asked if I want room for cream in my coffee.

Somehow that translates to 'fill the cup to the absolute very edge,' turning my walk to a game of trying not to spill molten coffee all over myself.

@duolingo excels by harmonizing design, animation, and tech. Our seamless animations delight millions globally.

My colleagues and I discussed with @rive_app the need for Creative Technologists to bridge the gap between designers, artists, and engineers.

Akira Toriyama is one of the main reasons I love tiny cars. He really knew how to make driving a kei car look like a goofy fun adventure.

Awesome video by Alex Chopjian and Jasmine Vahidsafa on how the @duolingo world is animated with @rive_app.

POV: You handed off a Rive file and your devs don't need your help anymore

[E.J. Hassenfratz @eyedesyn]

These 12 principles will CHANGE EVERYTHING! 😝 (because your animations will be much more realistic and appealing because these are the foundational building blocks of good animation!)

@Wrporter99w @jeffamcavoy @rive_app Expanding on the layers w/ tags, I'd love for it to feel more like C4D layers, where you can totally lock, gray out, or hide a layer without the need for filters.

The current Tag Filtering works great, but adding anything new to the hierarchy requires you to un-filter.

[Alex Chopjian @AlexChopjian]

@Wrporter99w @jeffamcavoy @rive_app > Hiding layers in the hierarchy with tags
> Set Driver/Driven on parameters
> Add/Subtract/Multiply/Divide inputs in the State Machine

Just a few!
