I've been thinking about building a motion graphics editor for a while now, since I feel like After Effects can be pretty overkill.

My idea was to combine the simplicity of a tool like Canva or Kapwing, where you can easily search and drag and drop assets into the canvas, with more powerful features like keyframing, easing, masking, and more. I decided to make it free and open source, as I might add more to it in the future.

If you're curious I've been sharing how I built this on my newsletter, here's one of the issues I wrote a few weeks ago: https://www.getrevue.co/profile/alyssaxuu/issues/adding-imag...

It must have been hard to do this whole project as a solo developer.
