Built an online animation tool for creating ads - looking for feedback
I work in the ad industry making display ads for brands - I got really tired of finishing a design and then having to rebuild the whole thing in some other tool just to make an animated banner. About 6 months ago i started messing around with a little web app to see if i could just drop in the psd or figma file and animate the layers right there. The first version barely worked but it was enough to get me hooked, and i've been building, breaking stuff, and testing it pretty much every night since. It's called layrd, and you can bring in your file, add fades and zooms and stuff to each layer, and export a banner that ad networks will actually take. layrd.design is the url - feel free to check it out and llet me know what you think! It's at the point where i'm ok with other people using it, and there's a free version so anyone can mess around with it. Honestly i've been staring at it by myself for way too long, so i'd love to hear what you think, good or bad. If something's confusing or broken or you'd never use it, feel free to post here, or contact me via the support ticket. I'm the only person actively working on it, but hoping I can get it to a point where people actually use it as a tool for building display ads.
