       | done well for characters. Maybe for hard objects, sometimes.

       | You need some kind of documentation or a video demonstration.
       | It's not at all obvious how to make an animation with this.

         | Yep, I've created multiple frames, altered them, hit play and
         | nothing...
         | 
         | It's a bit mysterious.

           | the changes you make to them.

       | someday.

       | Hello world (in case this helps anyone):
       | 
       | I drew a circle on the canvas. I hit the plus button in the
       | bottom left twice, to create a new board.
       | 
       | Selecting the new board, I moved the circle to another location
       | on the canvas, and I clicked the save disk on that new board. I
       | hit the play button.
       | 
       | The site animated my circle being moved from its location on the
       | first board, to the location I placed it on the second board.
       | 
       | Edit: Using the hamburger menu, I exported it and downloaded my
       | animation as a .webm video.

         | Ok, this helped, the preview for each frame must actually
         | change for you to get an effect when you hit play.

         | Thanks!
