Why isn't the first thing I see on the Animatron website an animation made in their own app? http://animatron.com/

Webflow did this with yesterday's post: http://interactions.webflow.com/

Funny that there is a link in that post back to an original earlier post on Hacker News: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7360296

Interesting the team used GWT. I would like to see a post about how they found it, and if they would choose it again for a new project.

I would use GWT for any big webapp. tooling is way better for java than for js. having the same model on server and on a client is a huge plus as well.

If you like this sort of thing, and are on a Mac, you have Quartz Composer available, which I find fun to play with and which is actually pretty powerful.

Among other things, you can make your own screensaver, and have access to various inputs and outputs such as the built in camera, mic, URL's, etc.

I've been using this QC toolkit for UI prototyping: http://facebook.github.io/origami/ . Works pretty well.

Loved the article. I was happy to see something materialize out of GWT too!
