Hi everyone,

who's still using JessyInk for presentations? - Well, I do 😅 It seems to have been fallen into oblivion as there are no updates or news anymore, but I still consider it a good tool to quickly create vivid presentations. Over the time, I created quite a bunch of presentations I use regulary. However, I have to update the content from time to time and rearranging or adding views with JessyInk is quite annoying.

So I created the JessyInk cutroom. It's a visual editor for JessyInk presentation to change and rearrange the order of events. I mainly built it for my own purposes but you might find it useful, too.

If you are interested in the code you can find it on glitch (where it is hosted currently) or on github (but be aware it is quite a hack 😝)

Any comments or suggestions welcome!

Cutroom got an update!

• Editable duration and transition style for effect and views,
• Exclusive: Animation easing 30 algorithms to make animation timing more natural, dynamic or fancy
• Exclusive: Real "Pop" effect Pop effect was kind of broken in jessyink, now objects really pop up if the effect is applied!

Watch the Demo here 

This is very nice!

I will def use this for my presentations and show this to my Inkscape students.

FYI this link does not animate for me in Chrome, but the full layout is visible. https://cdn.glitch.global/c35c4b20-b92a-476d-961c-ca8dbfc3abe4/JessyInkDemo.svg?v=1650025950065

This one works like a champ. https://tshoppa.github.io/jessyink-cutroom/files/JessyInkDemo.svg#1_0

Thanks Tyler,

You're right, it is not possible to play the glitch hosted demos anymore.

So folks, please visit cutroom on github! 😊

Glitch added a Content-Security-Policy that essentially denies the execution of inline javascript. This is a good thing from a security perspective, but unfortunately spoils the way JessyInk presentations work.

For CSP compliance the javascript code would have to be in a separate file, but usually you want to have your presentation in one file if opened from your desktop. That's why inline javascript was used.

So basically we will need 2 versions in the future: An "all-in-one-file" to carry around and run locally on a PC and (less often) a split up web version. I might add that as a feature to cutroom, shouldn't be a big deal.   

So, would you rather get bug reports / feedback here, on github, or...? (It doesn't look like glitch is an option, unless I'm missing something.)

...Reason I ask is, I hate to tell you this, but you typo'd the name of your project in JessyInkDemo.svg. 😆  ("Cutoom"! ...Sorry.)

Damn, I still needed another 10 seconds to find the typo  😂 

Thanks anyway, Frank. 

You can drop bugreports, feedback or feature reqests at github or here (I more or less abandoned glitch for the reasons above)
