Webflow Interactions 2.0 - Design and build web animations and interactions

Hey, Product Hunt! I’m Bryant, CTO at Webflow. We’ve been working on Interactions 2.0 as a brand-new way for designers and developers to build website animations and interactions visually — and I’m so excited to share it with all of you today. With this release, we’re extending the possibilities of what you can visually create on the web. Best of all, you can experience every bit of the feature with our Starter plan — absolutely free. Some highlights: - Create scroll-based parallax animations. Parallax may be so 2014 ... but we think there’s still a place for it in modern web design. You can animate and move elements based on scroll position, and create some powerful effects. - Mouse-based interactions. Use the mouse’s X and Y coordinates to control how other elements move and rotate. - Timeline-based animations. You can create Keynote-like animations and see exactly how and when elements will move. Group various interactions with each other and preview them live in the browser. All of this opens up the possibilities of what you can do in Webflow. So we created a little launch page as a proof of concept. (And decided to turn it into a History of the Web at the same time.) Check it out and try out Webflow IX2!

You guys are killing it - this is a game changer, congrats @bryantchou and the rest of the team!

I wish I could communicate to people how amazing webflow is. It is so unlike other visual website builders because of the low level of abstraction, clean code, and attention to detail. Webflow can do 99% of what 99% of web designers need.

I was able to play with IX2 in beta and it’s absolutely amazing! Strong work, Webflow Team!! Can’t wait to put some IX2 animations into live sites!!!

Amazing! Been waiting for IX2. I'm all ready to include the new interactions to live websites. Thank you, Webflow team. 🙌

Unfortunately it's too late for me. I jumped the ship long ago. I spent way too much time finding workarounds for basic features that aren't included (pagination anyone? one of the most basic stuff). Went back to hand-coding. Much better.

Ive had the pleasure to use it on the beta, and had great results super fast. It’s amazing.

Pros:

Super intuitive and easy to use

Cons:

None that I can think of

I've designed 20 something websites on Webflow. It's my go-to tool. This is extraordinary work right here guys. Congrats!

Having to code what you're able to create visually would take double/triple the time.

Pros:

Powerful visual editor for web animations

Cons:

None that I've seen yet

Without strong multi-language support of the CMS, this is pretty hard to adapt (or am I missing something?). But anyhow, what is the code quality of the generated websites? Hosting is indeed ridiculous expensive, contrasting that static hosting is pretty much free as of today...
