Thank you for your message :-). Can you tell me in which ways you think Hype is more mature? My app does not currently allow importing JSON, that is something on the roadmap. It does however allow you to send values to your project dynamically if you embed it on a web page. This way you can drive it with javascript. If you would want to recreate the example from my website in Hype would you need to know code or do you use some kind of plugin?

IMO Hype is similar to Flash and After Effects in that it has a timeline-based GUI that's easy to grasp. So for the generation of Flash developers who were left in the lurch after 2012, it was a great option. It also has a code editor view that allows you to write custom JS for functions that aren't related to animation (e.g. a countdown timer). It's a pretty niche tool these days as animation on the web is unfortunately rare, and game design has shifted to Unity. Those were Flash's biggest use cases. From what I've seen, animators today create them in Adobe After Effects, then pass that through a library called Lottie[0] which exports to JSON, and can then be implemented in HTML. That might be the market you could try targeting. [0] https://airbnb.io/lottie/#/ https://airbnb.io/lottie/#/
