    In the first SVG animation, when we hover over the roll of toilet paper, the carton roll spins clockwise to show the strips of finished paper, yet a sad face appears from the top, as if the roll spun counterclockwise. I mean, what are we to believe, that this is a magic roll of toilet paper, or something? Ha ha, boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

      Your refusal to believe in magic rolls of toilet paper is the reason you will never know true comfort.

      Everyone knows that there is only one way to mount your toilet roll and that is so the paper flips over the top and to the front :)

      The author was hedging their bets and providing comfort to those poor misguided heathens who disagree.

      I had a cheesy 2005 vintage DVD player where the internet icon was a globe that spun around backwards.

    Very cool! I've been using svgrepo.com since it's inception and it has been a real life saver! Maybe you should consider submitting your work there?

      omg, thank you for this
  • bryanrasmussen 1332 days ago
    Very nice, you obviously did a lot of work, I'm hoping it pays off in more people hiring you for design.

    Thanks for the material.

    The icons in particular look useful.

    I'm always torn whether to offer a (very personal) critique, but the man/woman characters aren't to my taste but I'm sure others will love them.

    These are awesome! I was blown away.

    Would you consider an AGPL dual-license for the (non-free) illustrations? Right now, the license prohibits redistribution of any sort, which makes these unusable in free software.

    An AGPL dual-license would:

    1) Allow redistribution with open source / free software projects, which would be awesome.

    2) Require anyone who integrated these into a proprietary system to buy a normal commercial-use license from you.

    It's amazing how badly the free software community needs your talent!

    They look pretty cool!

    For me the initial load of the site is really slow and animation is like 5FPS. Also half of the animations are not loading, but it could just be the HN traffic.

      Page consumes a minimum of 1 CPU core on my Firefox.

      On Chrome slightly less CPU and more GPU.

    Loch Ness (its a loch called Ness.) Lochness would make a strange adjective!

    Great work. What software are you using to create the animations?
  • benjaminsuch 1331 days ago
    Great work, funnily exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks a lot!

    question: Is it just me or is it a little bit bloated?
  • joshwcomeau 1331 days ago
