Hands on with Hype 2's ten new features
Since I started messing around with HTML back in the 90s, I’ve had a long-standing hatred of WYSIWYG editors. (It probably stems from too many late nights yelling at early versions of Dreamweaver and its terrible, terrible output.) To this day, I prefer to manually code almost everything I do.
But hand-coding HTML5 animation today is about as fun as hand-coding image maps in the 90s—you don’t really want to spend your day neck-deep in CSS and number-transforms if you can get away with it. Hype 1.0 was the first program to make this breathlessly simple and cross-browser friendly, and I loved the app for it. Hype 2 is a huge upgrade to an already-fantastic program, packing in ten new features (and more than a few tiny ones). I took Hype’s new version for a spin; here are some observations.

Hype Reflect lets you preview any project on your iOS device.
