We've unlocked a bunch of fun stuff for our Discord thanks to @webflow, @cassiecodes and Rama Adityo giving us some ⚡boooosts. ...Animated server icon you say? Yes please! codepen.io/GreenSock/pen/…

Particularly excited about this addition. 💚 Fun video to make too - I love being able to deep dive into the real nerdy little details. Joyous.

🥳 Shoutout to @ayotomcs, winner of this week's GSAP merch bundle for the animated SVG Claude mascot they shared in our Discord. We've got three more bundles to give away over the next three weeks. Join our new Discord for a chance to win some green socks of your own: gsap.com/discord/

@BradfordHuber4 @webflow It's easy to forget about the people and the continued maintenance and support behind the code that AI is generating!

@cassiecodes @webflow that's a great point! really helped GSAP continue to be great even just in code form

Was @webflow's aquisistion of GSAP worth it? I've been thinking about Webflow's aquisition of GSAP back in 2024. At the time I thought it was a brilliant move, as it'd allow them to really improve their interactions panel which was in need of an update. But ~1.5 years out from that decision, I'm wondering if they would make that decision again knowing what we know now about AI and how software is changing. This may just be me, but I haven't seen the type of adoption of IX3 powered by GSAP that I thought I would. I personally haven't used it much. The devs I know that were already using GSAP seem to have kept using GSAP in code form, as it provides more flexibility and possibilities that aren't built into the UI yet. Devs and designers that haven't used GSAP seem to be opting to use code because it can be generated with AI so much easier/faster. This removes the learning curve that's required when using the UI. I think it goes to show how difficult it can be to turn complicated frameworks into a UI. There's always going be a tradeoff between what you should build into the UI and what not. On top of that, it's an additional challenge to build a UI that AI can edit and control as well. And now with AI, there isn't the advantage that you are bringing new abilities to users who don't know code. AI can bridge that gap now too. It makes me wonder if Webflow would have been better off investing those resources and talent into building the platform in other areas. Anyway, just some thoughts on a Thursday morning. What do you guys think?

@BradfordHuber4 @webflow It's also far from done, we're adding features all the time, and who knows, maybe it'll be more tightly coupled with AI prompting in future. 👀

@BradfordHuber4 @webflow There's always a trade off. Code will always be more powerful/flexible, but with that flexibility comes upkeep and fragility that people don't necessarily want to deal with. The visual builder provides a robust solution that's good for bigger teams and for website handovers

💚 Come on in! Everyone's welcome, whether you're a pro or just animation-curious. See you in there pals!

@ffmfedd @itsoffbrand @greensock no you da boss 😎

@itsoffbrand @greensock @cassiecodes bosses

Over the interaction moon to win the @greensock SOTY award for Technical Excellence for Aether1 and we picked it up direct from @cassiecodes 🍻

@makio64 Incredibly exciting!

Threejs Conf Paris, here we go ! 🚀 --> threejs.paris Waitlist open !

@ffmfedd @CliaLpz @makio64 👀

@CliaLpz @makio64 yeah not missing that (hopefully)

@makio64 is gathering this community for the first #threejs conference ever ! It’s will be in Paris ! Register the waiting list So glad and honored to be part of the line up alongside such talented people ! Can’t wait !

@123regHelp hey folks. I can't log in to pay a bill. If I try to reset my password it says "no account with this email address", if I try to create an account it says that an account with my email address already exists. I can't wait on hold as I'm in the USA at the moment.

Excited to have a shiny new home for the GSAP demos! A lot of people find navigating docs a little intimidating (I know I did at first) so I hope this will be a fun new pathway towards creativity for some new people! New collections and collabs coming soon 👀

@victorwork_ @webflow It was such a pleasure getting to meet you in person finally, proper IRL friends now! Can't wait until the next time. 💚 You must be so proud of everything you've achieved this year!

Webflow Conference 25' 🌐🌎💙🧡❤️ I had a fantastic time at the @webflow Conference in NYC. It was an amazing experience to be part of this unforgettable event among so many talented people and such a kind staff. I'm looking forward to the next one. Special thanks to the Weblow Staff and some friends that I have been in touch with for many years, and finally was able to meet in person: @verofashoo @cassiecodes @callmevlad @melydelmar06 @josephberry88 @iljavaneck @codebydennis @JordanGilroy @CarterOgunsola

@greensock 🤝 @Webflow 🤝 My nails 💜💙💚💛🧡❤️ GRADIENTS ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

I'm doing a little lightning talk tomorrow morning on motion principles for the web. @iljavaneck is going to be demo-ing the new GSAP/Webflow interactions in a few hours too. 🙌 Not too late to join online - Register here: wfl.io/wfc2025

@joeydi @snorklTV Yep - they lifted it right from the GSAP site. "Animate Anything" ID's and all.

@snorklTV Not just familiar - literally the exact same shape with the asymmetrical ink traps.

Something strangely familiar about the branding elements being used here. Where have I seen these before?

GSAP branded conference nails. 💚 (as is tradition.)

Here's a discount link if you want to join in on the fun! ti.to/smashingmagazi…

Off to SmashingConf Freiburg soon! Can't wait for my workshop next week (Thursday 11th) Really excited for this one! It's got such a nice balance of practical tips, common UI patterns and fun stuff to mess around with. Still some spots left 👀 @smashingmag
