What if timelines were drawn not point-and-clicked? Setting keyframes and easing curves is such PITA. Here brushes would represent different props / components / behaviours. 🤔 I know some music trackers allow you to paint notes / beats. How would it look like for motion design?

@steveruizok Love it! Curious how you’ll render them. As a shader? Texture? Are there concerns about pixel-perfect rendering at different scales (i.e. zoom)

[Alan @whilesoftware]

@steveruizok Beautiful! Theme colors with presets for light and dark mode?

[Alan @whilesoftware]

@steveruizok @seflless Is the text editable in figma?

[Alan @whilesoftware]

@seflless @absurd_joy Congrats! Looks like a brilliant match :)
