Hey Jack - thanks. I think #3 would work great. Working on some alphabet stuff w/ drag & drop, build a word kind of thing for kids. So for words they'll always be lining blocks up horizontally. Just seems a pain to have to calculate and add an offset to each box, depending on where they dragged it from. For this kind of thing absolute works nicely. Have not used Greensock in a while! Look forward to diving back in. I usually end up making things way more animated and cooler just because you guys make it easy
-
sorry don't use stackblitz much I updated to my fork. I'd like to animate the boxes all to the y position of let's say 0 - rather than relative positions. This is the Svelte example, as that's my framework.
-
Created a variation of the above just to see how I might use it in my reading app. https://stackblitz.com/edit/vitejs-vite-ycvvwz?file=src/App.svelte Very smooth animation of letters. So I'd have to switch to tweenTo to animate to an absolute y position?

Thanks @OSUblake, will take a look - sorry I've been out with pneumonia for a couple of weeks, will be easing back into dev as I get better - warning to all to GET YOUR FLU SHOTS!! (they think my pneumonia developed from flu, despite the fact that it isn't even flu season yet).

hey guys do you have any ideas where else to post about an app? I'm going to to Product Hunt once we're ready, but I really need to get some more beta users trying the thing out before I'll be ready for that. I'm pretty miserable at Twitter and overall don't use social media much- which is apparently a disaster for marketing! Any and all suggestions would be awesome, I am really just looking to find people who will use it and tell me what they would be looking for feature wise, as we have a lot of options of where to take this and I'd rather not guess what people want. @Carl @OSUblake @GreenSock @Dipscom

Ok I'm excited to say the logic and views appear to work now - plus a login problem I didn't realize I had - and I've got the greensock coupon set to give 12 months of PRO subscription. I'll be putting some other coupons online but I don't think any others will be for that long, but I've had so much kindness here over the years! Thanks so much to @Carl, @OSUblake, @GreenSock, and others who have answered my questions, created Codepens I was able to drop into my projects, and so much more. So the coupon is greensockers The url to enter that into is https://www.kwippe.com/app.html#upgrade_beta I'll throw in a pic for good measure Let me know any problems you find! My "todo" list is huge right now of tweaks and features - plus we really need a good set of videos, tutorials, etc to help people see all they can do with the app. One day at a time I guess!

You guys are sweet! 2 kids with strep throat today so I'm a bit exhausted! But working to get that upgrade logic done so anybody here will be able to use the cooler features. Still some CSS ugliness to fix - boy I'm pretty bad at CSS - but a few nice folks have already given me suggestions, which is super. So I'll be back soon with the upgrade info - looks like the easiest thing is to give out a code and set up a modal input for that, and write that to Firebase. I'm using Zapier for the stuff from Sendowl (ecommerce thingy) - frankly its way too early to think about asking people to pay for this app - but to please the business oriented husband who has put a lot of effort into the project and supported my efforts to get it designed, I said we'd bake in a way to make the app pay for itself. I appreciate the RTs and stuff on Twitter too - I had a pretty good day there yesterday - all of this helps!

Funny my thing says I'm a newbie, I've been here and and off for a lotta years! Had sick kids today so didn't get the logic for the upgrades done - I'm going to do a custom code rather than run it through my ecommerce, as I think people much prefer not having to check out. So hoping to have a simple modal form with the code input up tomorrow.

I'll upgrade any and all devs for FREE for a year from Greensock - I'm adding the logic for that today - if you login I'll see your email and I will upgrade you Hey @OSUblake ! I finished the demo - https://readvisually.org - but got sidetracked with this project, which is an offshoot of a much larger and more involved SVG editor that I was using to create ebooks for the read visually project! Hoping to get this one situated so I can go back to the read visually, as I am planning to use it to teach my daughter to read.

Thanks Jack, sorry to shamelessly self promote But I'm trying to bake in some features for devs like me, and this is a good place to find them!

Hello guys - I've finally finished an app I've been working on for some time, as while it doesn't showcase GSAP (which I've used in just about everything else I've ever done!) - I'd love to offer free pro accounts for any developers over here who might want to use it. I have about 33,000 Open Source & Creative Commons graphics, inside of an easy to use SVG editor that can output PNGS or SVGs, and will soon also have app icon exports for IOS and Android, as well as export for the Spine animation platform. We have a few thousand pieces of game art as well - including over 400 of the best Glitch pieces, as well as the Kenney.nl collection, and others. We are at https://kwippe.com The basic app is free but a pro subscription will get you access to importing your own stuff, as well as cloud syncing (coming soon) - and lots of other cool stuff on our roadmap. Sorry if this isn't the right place for this message - but wanted to throw it out there and see if anybody is interested! We are still definitely a beta product, but the app has a lot of promise as we are offering a variations designer that makes it pretty painless to throw together some quick graphics. Just shoot me an email - stace at kwippe.com - and I'll upgrade your account on Kwippe. @OSUblake @Carl @GreenSock

Beware I'm sure there are still glitches, and there's lots of cleanup to do - but here is a link to the live demo of the Learn to Read Visually app! No website or anything yet, and the app is far from done. You have to match about 7 things to move through each scene, and right now I have 4 activities live. Just about all tweening uses GSAP - as well as the drag and drop, the animation stuff is Spine.

Hey Blake! I'm just writing about you in a new blog I started I stopped by to grab the link to that great sample you made for me of the buttery smooth drag and drop using Pixi and Greensock. Things are going great - I'm trying to upload the demo of my app today or tomorrow - I'll be sure to post a link here. On a weird side note I've applied for this opportunity to compete to be selected for a free trip to interview for jobs in Wellington, New Zealand (LookSee) - so I'm trying to clean up some of my stuff and build a blog that makes me sound like I know what I'm talking about, lol. I'd love to leave behind the Alaskan winters for a few years, and we've read great things about the schools and outdoor lifestyle for families there. I was reading about the thousands of devs who have applied, and I thought "what they should really do is try to get the guys from GREENSOCK to move there" I'll look at those links today too - THANK YOU!! Spine has been uber cool too - they were very kind in offering me a free license for a little while to help get the app off the ground - and Spine has totally changed the app, although I'm also still using TweenMax for a lot of stuff. thanks again Stacey

Your Cherokee learning app looks really great, especially for HTML5! Boy sometimes I miss the days of Flash. You could just build something and know it would look great without worrying so much about the positioning woes that have come w/ moving to HTML5. Springroll's demos are super limited and don't work as advertised - they assume you've coded other stuff, which isn't a great way to do demos. The project looks like it had great promise but the docs are also 1/2 abandoned, at least on the wiki. Yeah I even tend to search Github based on "recently updated" - as I've also been burned by abandoned stuff before! I do want a framework I can grow with - I've done lots of kids stuff (dress up, learn to read, spanish teaching, etc) - but never really a GAME game, It would be really cool since this is an app for kids who really need things to be interesting to have some actual game features, maybe even a platformer thingy - I'd love to learn how to do some of that stuff. As for the ticker I read that here and someplace else https://blog.toggl.com/2013/05/6-performance-tips-for-html-canvas-and-createjs/ So I guess you're right about the ticker being necessary any time I have animation - the other drag and drop thing I had used it all the time, you couldn't disable it when the objects weren't being touched. Seems like I should be able to pause it but the createJS setPaused(true) didn't seem to work, and using my own flag seemed to make it choppy when the user dragged. I think I'm over thinking stuff I don't need to right now I'll look at your samples - I really appreciate the advice and help, I'll be really happy to post my app once it comes online too - it's a real labor of love for me as I'm hoping ot helps my daughter learn to read despite the fact that she is still nonverbal at 4. She LOVES sorting apps though, and can remember tons of things throughout all of her apps like Toca Boca and others - so I have a lot of hope that a visual approach can help her really sink her teeth into reading.
