Flow

I'm trying to do some exploding icons where initial menu icons break into parts to give users a clear and continual hint as to how the UI works, rather than an onboarding screen. (Totally inspired by Canva's "more" button becoming a close X).

Just quickly putting a couple of artboards together from my design doc and playing with it in Flow has let me realise things about the UI much faster than my imagined presentation.

My biggest concern right now is how to combine the generated code because I want to have four different menu buttons with their own animations - lots of room for tutorial articles.

I've been using it since the early alpha and just bought a copy now there's a paid release. It generates clean code for the fiddly business of animation so can save a huge amount of time fine-tuning code.

I've been anticipating this launch since the Alpha! I was in one of the beta groups several months back and really liked the product then, so I'm jacked to try it out now that it's launched. I've also been on their slack channel keeping tabs on their efforts to deliver a user-focused product that delivers results. This app will save designers a lot of time! I will say that the team building this product is an awesome group focused on users. Stoked to see it launch! Congrats.
