Ask HN: How can I make beautiful, professional programmatic text animation?
5 by poeticsilence | 2 comments on Hacker News.
I'm building a word game on the side, and I want to artfully and elegantly transform one word into the other, programmatically. The corpus of words is quite large, but there are a finite number of transformation types. (Example transformations would be shuffling or dropping letters) Everyone seems to be either using something like Adobe After Effects, or the animations themselves tend not to look very organic or soothing and satisfying to the eye. Is this something that can be done easily in modern CSS and Javascript? Is there any resource, individual, or group you can recommend for either learning from or contracting with to accomplish this?
