Show HN: I made a FREE animator think of Adobe Illustrator but for animation

I’ve not looked at the tool, but are animations driven by CSS, and if so do you embed the CSS into the SVG? Where I work we’re looking at SVG animation tools for some graphics and the majority appear to be lottie-like tools dependent on JavaScript and other plugins which we can’t use.

SVGator[1] offers CSS or JS for animation export (no SMIL or hybrid it seems). I haven't used it but it came up in a prior HN discussion. Due to the traditional dearth of authoring tools I'm used to creating self-contained SVG animations manually via a text editor, by translating raster mockups, but glad there's at least one GUI authoring tool that considers such use cases.

It doesn't sound like CSS. The fans on my laptop came on after opening a simple animation (the Pythagorean proof). Firefox was at 100%.

For pure SVG-based animations you should take a look at Boxy SVG: https://boxy-svg.com/blog/21

Thank you for your interest! At the moment, Trangram does not support exporting SVG animation files.
