I've been looking for this type of thing for a while. It's a really nice idea. However, I found the platform isn't doing what I'd expect it to do!
@alicelthwaite thanks for the feedback Alice! it is still in an early stage, what would you like it to do? :)
@adibenhur Just when I typed in some words, they didn't appear on the slideshow. Also I wanted to add another slide and it started playing the slideshow. I also couldn't understand how to get two characters side by side. Hope this helps! Great idea!
@alicelthwaite helps a lot! thank you kindly. hope to have new features (multiple characters per slide) and bug fixes soon
This is the best new discovery I've made in a while. Have already made three hilarious slideshows and are addicted. Love!!
But please fix the 'add text' bug. As soon as you type any sort of "!.?...@" etc. the text line jumps back to the front of the sentence you're typing and you have to start over. Also I've had all the text I've added to a silde show get randomly wiped out while adding another slide or trying to hit the 'play' button. So yes, still some bugs to work out but keep going! I love the concept and bugs aside, have already enjoyed using it.
Hi product hunters! Chalkmotion is still in a prototype phase I aim to keep the simplicity, and add features like adding multiple images per slide, exporting to gif, embedding in a webpage, stop motion animation loops, audio, collaboration tools and more... let me know what you'd like to use it for and what features would help the most!
@jamesvandyke thanks James, absolutely, I think of these drawings as building blocks so compositing together is essential!

@lacijwhite thanks Laci, agree, It's currently more of a robust prototype, hope to get it up to speed soon!
@adibenhur Of course. Totally get it. :) I really do love the idea and congrats on getting it out the door btw! If you need testers ping me.
Always wanted to make a video using something like this for a song I wrote about my daughter figuring out her Mom: https://drive.google.com/open?id... (the end of the song mentions a picture she drew as a kid). Cool Tool.
@jamie_mci thanks! and thanks for sharing, this is just instrumental? audio is on the list, soundtrack and slide specific voice recording and sound effects
I love the product ! and would love the iOS app too ! - (FYI social login is buggy)
@steveraffner thanks! iOS app will be a bit further down the road. fixed social login
@adibenhur I love it but heads up, the OAuth redirect for Google login needs to be fixed
The idea is awesome! But by all means - it should be in vector form. http://take.ms/DLCIP - pixelation is hurting my eyes.
The link still seems to be down.. the duct tape / duck tape :) isn't holding it strong enough !
@rakeshpatwari fatal memory bug officially squashed! up and running. no duct tape, organic, free range :)
Houston, we hava a problem

I tried to draw a cat. Failed.
Neat tool for explainer videos and the pre-made doodles are a huge help.
@rrhoover thanks Ryan, sorry to hear about the cat... the drawing tool would improve too and we'll add simple drawing tutorials
The doodle library is collaborative and curated, anyone can contribute
