I produced a free Adobe Animate alternative (r/SideProject)

I produced a free Adobe Animate alternative using Claude code: Onionskyn. It's one HTML file, runs entirely in your browser. \*\* I'm not claiming this is feature complete, a 1-to-1 with an actual Adobe product, or the next greatest app, it's just been a real fun side project for me \*\* Everything…

README

Onionskyn

A free, single-file animation editor that runs in your browser. Draw vectors, lay them out on a timeline, tween between keyframes, and export video, GIF, SVG or a standalone HTML player. Nothing is uploaded anywhere; your work stays in your browser until you save it.

Onionskyn is an independent project and is not affiliated with Adobe.

Documentation

Building from source

The app is a single HTML file built from the files in source/src/. From the source/ folder, run bash build.sh to produce dist/onionskyn.html, and npm test to run the regression suites. See Building from source for the layout and the tests.

Reporting a problem

Use File → Report a problem… in the app, describe what happened, and choose Email report. It opens your email app addressed to [email protected] with technical details attached. If no email app opens, use Copy report and paste it into an email yourself.
