I use Readymag quite a lot nowadays, typically on fast-turnaround, demanding designs. Here’s a few things that I’ve noticed would be helpful on at least a few occasions—mostly QoL changes but some bigger ones too:
- deeper zoom out… please…
- allow to click and drag RM toolbars so they’re not in the way (can be very difficult to adjust elements in the bottom-right of the page, especially if you’re using the dimensions inputs)
- native corner radius parameters on all media (video embed and text boxes especially)
- overlaps with the above, but having corner radius & ‘text box outline’ (not text outline) parameters in the text settings would save me soooo much time
- increase the gif file size limit to 10mb
- settable auto-margins/spacing between content in the editor—e.g. if I could say, ‘I want there to always be 50px between the bottom of this element and the top of the next element, so if the layout changes, make that adjustment automatically when i finish editing the page’; IDK if this is feasible—it might be a UX disaster—but it would save me a ton of time
- allow more than 3 sets of guides, and allow sets to be named
- allow multiple animations for one widget (e.g. the widget has a hover opacity animation on itself, but also has a separate size hover animation triggered if you hover over a different word)
- allow more than 3 triggers for an animation
- capability to set ‘anchor point’/referenced point for scaling & rotating animations (e.g. rotate from top left corner instead of center)
- capability to change anchor position as an animation (e.g. text starts anchored to screen center, then after a delay/on scroll, it de-anchors from the center of the page and instead anchors to the top of the page, then runs through whatever animation)
- story editor to allow collaborators to make copy changes without screwing up more involved text formats (e.g. line 1 has 20px above, 8px below; line 2 has 0px above, 8px below; line 3 has 0px above, 20px below—client will screw this up every time
- (probably not even doable, but…) setting to have text size remain static while the rest of the page scales
- integrated tools for shape masks/masking, gradients, optical text alignment
- element color animations
- variable type parameter slider animations
- animations on a selection of text within a broader text element
- built-in multi-password protection/tracking (i.e. being able to generate 100 different passwords for a project, then later be able to see what passwords were used, ideally with time & IP)—this would be great as part of a tiny analytics upgrade, and is crucial for sharing sensitive pitches/scripts; I’ve had to fulfill several projects via other platforms due to this
And this isn’t a feature request, but it’d be helpful to have some editable pages that walk through how scroll animations work to achieve different common effects. Same with menu animations, horizontal scroll on a vertical layout, and a few other common effects—possibly even with an asset library for some of these w/ explanations on how they work? The videos are great for the extreme basics, but for anything aside from the most obvious applications, I often am unable to find any explainer/guidance for how that might be achieved. I did see something like this was added for a few features I already understood.
