Framer brings its prototyping tool to the browser
Framer has released a web version of its design and prototyping tool, and the new interface is immediately striking. The marketing site itself doubles as a showcase of the app's capabilities, with numerous interactive examples you can open and tinker with.
One such demo illustrates how to create hover tooltips inside the app, giving a quick glimpse of the workflow and animation possibilities:
The visual style is worth noting, too. Both the website and the design app lean heavily into a rounded-corner, dark-mode aesthetic — a look that will feel familiar to anyone who has spent time with the Oculus Quest interface. It's a design language that may be trendy, but it suits the product well.
A first look at the animation toolset
While a deep dive into the new tool is still in order, the animation effects on display look promising and appear worthy of experimentation. Link: Framer.
