As one of my last projects for the Urban Ecology Center, I got to create a real-time updating fundraising thermometer for use at their annual gala event. With data-binding in @rive.app I was able to add interpolation to both the bar height and the numbers being counted.

After 15+ years, I am moving on from my VP, Marketing position at the Urban Ecology Center. (New role announcement coming soon!)

To share my appreciation for my colleagues, I created this Fox-themed personality quiz with Webflow and @rive.app. 5 quick answers to get a fox name & type!

Added this one to the @rive.app marketplace:

More amazingness made possible with @rive.app's data-binding features. Added some control sliders to the min and max X and Y for the particle emitter.

🤯 the new data binding lists feature on @rive.app makes it possible to create particle emitters!

Another fun data-binding experiment in @rive.app. Not sure what to do with this one yet. What could this bouncy motion be used for?

Experimenting with a googly-eyes interaction thanks to
@rive.app's new data binding features!

Bringing several of my interests together with this one: 3D printing + @rive.app + @raspberrypi.com + @nocodebackend.bsky.social

This is v2 of a “get ready for the day” display that shows the date, weather*, school lunch, special class* and field trip* info.

* - just placeholders for now

Old-school 3D glasses + @rive.app data-binding to control "depth" effect. ✨

A @rive.app on one device controlling a Rive animation on another! This set up uses @raspberrypi.com, node.js, and websockets. I love how immediate the response is!

More info below 👇

This @rive.app animation is controlling an LED connected to a @raspberrypi.com Zero W 2. It’s a first test in controlling real world devices with Rive interactions!

More @rive.app feather fun!
February 16, 2025 at 11:09 PM
Experimenting with @rive.app feathers. This is 100% vector. 🤯

One interesting thing you can do with the new @rive.app feather features is that your additional fills can have offsets even if they're not feathered. So you can essentially create duplicates of your shapes. It turns out there is a decent file-size saving too.

A quick experiment with the new @rive.app Feather feature. The combo of feather and blend modes reminded me of Yondu's arrow.

Sure, a bulleted text list would get this information across... but it's way more fun (and memorable) to use @rive.app and @gsap-greensock.bsky.social to make it interactive!

Arduino + @rive.app !! (screen comes into focus as the vid proceeds)

Rigged up an Uno R3 with a joystick to control number and trigger inputs in a Rive file.

It’s not extremely useful in this demo, but the possibilities are promising.

I'll try to do a more thorough walkthrough at some point, but the quick tip is regarding the settings for your image assets in Rive. When they're referenced, they don't get bundled into the .riv file and you can use the runtime code to place your new images in.
January 4, 2025 at 7:49 PM
Did you know you can swap out image assets in a @rive.app at runtime? This file has four placeholder images that are replaced by logo files at runtime. Events trigger the change in the set of logos. The .riv is only 2kb.

❤️‍🔥I LOVED using @rive.app in 2024! ❤️‍🔥

I had to trim quite a bit to keep this under 1 minute, but here are some of my favorite projects and experiments from this year.

And I know 2025 will bring even more incredible possibilities!

A little X-mas @rive.app experiment.
December 25, 2024 at 11:13 PM
Merry X-Moose!

@rive.app + Webflow+ Slater App. Check it out here: merry-x-moose.webflow.io/https://merr...

Nice one, @notbor.ing! ☃️
December 21, 2024 at 3:35 PM
Experimenting with @rive.app's scrolling features. Lots of possibilities here!

Here's a preview of a fun @rive.app feature I'm adding to this Summer Camp lottery form. Urban Ecology Center campers get a "wood cookie" name tag, so when you enter your kids' first name a wood cookie with their name drops down from the top of the screen. 😁
