Hi everyone, I am new to web development and I want to know if I can create a visual animation builder based on anime.js using toddle?
I mean a builder that will allow users to create animations using a timeline and control the anime.js api completely visually, and then export the code with the animations. This will be my first serious pet project, I've only built "brochure" sites before.
How much custom code will I need as a percentage of the process that can be done visually in toddle?

Yes, you absolutely can. You will probably need a bit of custom code but Claude can help you with that.

Building an animation editor is a hard project though, if you are new to web development it might make sense to build some simpler projects first

Andreas, thanks so much for the super fast response! I definitely need to get some web development knowledge and also try to create a simple apps from Toddle academy before developing anime.js visual editor
