  1. So you’re saying “everything is in native javascript”. Is it? Not CSS3 Animations? JS-Animation would be not very future-head. What about WebGL? Will it be supported?

  3. Oh great, he war to bug us has moved to another level. Now webpages can irritate us with HTML 5 animations as well as Flash ones. The marvelous ClicktoFlash plug-in gets rid Flash animations. Before that, I’d often open a window just to cover the stuff up. Let’s hope someone comes up with a ClicktoHTML to kill these HTML 5 equivalents.

    Better yet, is turning this off built into the HTML 5 spec? If not, it should be.

  4. “And it’s really easy…”
    How many times have I heard that uttered before?
    And too often, it turned out not to be easy enough.
    But let’s not kill the puppy based on such a claim.

    The interface looks massive, with lots of features.
    I truly hope all those carefully crafted little thingies
    keep it clear to distinguish functions from tools and
    mere indicators. And I hope the panels are floating !

    But it’s based – again – on timelines and playheads,
    a school of thought designers hate to understand…
    I hope the promise of “HTML (CSS/JS) compliant”
    will lure them enough into picking it up for a change.

    Another issue: how does this (separate?) tool work
    in combination with other tools like Dreamweaver ?
    Will it blend in a graceful way ? We’ll see…

  5. Looks simple enough. Is this the type of animation that could be integrated into an ‘Enhanced EPUB’ for the iBookstore/iPad?
