This month at Framer was all about Auto-Code.We were thrilled to finally introduce the new Framer to the world, and the response has been amazing.
Other recent highlights include an inside look at the prototype for the new Facebook Live Reactions. We've also collected the best Framer articles from around the web to share with you. And we'll fill you in on all the upcoming Framer events so you know what's happening in your area.
Enjoy!
A few weeks back, Facebook announced a new Live feature with a constant stream of reactions that flow across the screen. In order to get a good feeling for what this feature would be like, Facebook designer George Kedenburg III built a robust prototype of the Live player in Framer.
This prototype allowed them to get really accurate feedback in user testing. It was built using live video and real data, which meant that they could quickly customize it for each participant. Once they had feedback, they were able to easily adjust the animations and small details like the alternating color bursts. According to George, this prototype also helped make the transition from design to engineering much smoother.
You can read George's announcement post in the group, or play with the final design.

My First Framer Project. Debashish Paul chronicles his first Framer project and tells us why he fell in love.
This gorgeous map design by Claudio Guglieri uses multi-touch gestures to create a pinchable interface. Claudio wanted to explore a map component that not only shows your route, but also shows the real-time weather conditions at any given time. The idea was to improve an everyday map by adding an additional dimension to the traditional 2D exploration.
The effect was easily achieved in Framer by creating a subtle parallax effect on the clouds as you pinch to zoom in and out, giving it some nice depth. The map even repositions to the correct location when you open the sheet at the bottom
You can follow Claudio on Twitter, check out the shot on Dribbble, or play with the final design.
