(NOT SPONSORED BTW, THIS IS JUST ME GUSHING ABOUT SOMETHING COOL I FOUND LOL)

It's a flipnote-esque site that lets you animate with other people, like Magma.com!! (Cool! I haven't tested out the 'multiplayer' aspect of it yet, but it's still cool!)

The fact that you can add audio in it is already pretty amazing to me. It even gives you effects to do with your audio??

As for the animating part, you might need to do a bit of manual work since the tools you have are limited-- but from what I can tell, it seems like the website is still in beta? The amount of flexibility the website already offers is honestly pretty impressive.

Also, something cool you could do is change the color palette! Waow! (It's similar to how Vector colors work!! Not sure if everything in the website is directly inspired by Flipnote or not, I've never owned one before.)

And to top it all off, IT'S FREE??

GUESS WHO'S BEEN ANIMATING. MY LATENT POWER IS RETURNING.

Now I just need to manage a successful papercraft project... then my power will really be restored...

Anyways, this was done in anishare, a site for simple animation. I've been really wanting to get into animation again and I've been looking for something similar to (or at least as simple as) Flipnote Studio... So this was a delight to find and start using. Flipnote Hatena was where I first learned to animate (and my first foray into online spaces as a kid lol) so it makes me happy to 'return' to it like this. (my DSi and 3DS touchscreens sadly have dead zones even though I have editions of the flipnote software on them...)

Welp, I feel accomplished right now, my brain is FINALLY cooperating again and I was able to post another chapter of Looking Glass AND create this... I don't know how long it's been since I've animated something... this is really simple, but I'm quite pleased at the moment. Hopefully this means I'm finally starting to come out of the funk I've been in.
