I like their simple promo video:

I tried to draw a cat. Failed. Neat tool for explainer videos and the pre-made doodles are a huge help.

@rrhoover thanks Ryan, sorry to hear about the cat... the drawing tool would improve too and we'll add simple drawing tutorials The doodle library is collaborative and curated, anyone can contribute

The idea is awesome! But by all means - it should be in vector form. http://take.ms/DLCIP - pixelation is hurting my eyes.

@romanonthego thanks! completely agree
Gabriel Reynard
Yep, It'd a great tool, I recommend ☺.

Hi product hunters! Chalkmotion is still in a prototype phase I aim to keep the simplicity, and add features like adding multiple images per slide, exporting to gif, embedding in a webpage, stop motion animation loops, audio, collaboration tools and more... let me know what you'd like to use it for and what features would help the most!

@jamesvandyke thanks James, absolutely, I think of these drawings as building blocks so compositing together is essential!
Kurt Akers
Interesting idea, but why use this over white board drawings
Adi Ben Hur
Maker
@kakers1789 these are very much whiteboard drawings, the format is javascript which makes viewing, editing and collaborating instantaneous, unlike video. The drawing library is open source, collaborative and curated and one could use the drawings in video projects, powerpoint etc. It's also is at a very early stage... Hope that answers the question!

The registration flow is a thing of beauty. I like how unauthenticated users can start making things before even being asked for an email address.
Adi Ben Hur
Maker
thanks Jeff, I prefer to keep it as open as possible, registering allows you to edit your slideshows and use your saved drawings
Laci White
Love the idea. Very buggy though.
Adi Ben Hur
Maker
@lacijwhite thanks Laci, agree, It's currently more of a robust prototype, hope to get it up to speed soon!
Laci White
@adibenhur Of course. Totally get it. :) I really do love the idea and congrats on getting it out the door btw! If you need testers ping me.

@lacijwhite thank you kindly, will do! :)

Always wanted to make a video using something like this for a song I wrote about my daughter figuring out her Mom: https://drive.google.com/open?id... (the end of the song mentions a picture she drew as a kid). Cool Tool.

@jamie_mci thanks! and thanks for sharing, this is just instrumental? audio is on the list, soundtrack and slide specific voice recording and sound effects
Yuri
very cool! so simple!
William Zh
Simple and beautiful ^^
Kyle at BiggyTV
Very cool. Storytelling is a tough thing to do, but getting your message across with images is so important because it takes multiple types of language expressions for people to understand your story.
Stephanie Kampendonk
Wow! Very good idea and well crafted. Goes straight to my bookmarks. 😊👍

@ihatedotpink thanks Stephanie! we might have to pause and relaunch soon, the prototype wasn't built for this volume of love...
