It only exports SMIL SVG animations (2008 standard), so no JavaScript. Not a big deal for simple animations with wide support. The UI itself is not bug-free, but it's usable and pretty.

What is Friction?
Friction is a powerful and versatile motion graphics application that allows you to create vector and raster animations for web and video platforms with ease.
Features:
- High Performance: Friction provides a scalable, high-performance GPU/CPU vector and raster pipeline developed in C++, using Skia and the Qt framework.
- Animations for the Web: Create smooth and responsive animations for the web with Friction! Using Friction, you can create animated scalable vector graphics (SVG) using the synchronized multimedia integration language (SMIL), as recommended by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
- Multiple Scenes and Timelines: Friction gives you the flexibility to work on multiple scenes at once, with multiple viewers, timelines, and graphs. Adjust it to fit your needs and screen real estate.
- Powerful Expression Editor: Power users are welcome! Friction provides support for expressions with ECMAScript in parameters and effects. Additionally, it includes a complete code editor with autocompletion, syntax highlighting, custom functions, and more.
- Text and Path Effects: Friction includes a diverse range of effects for enhancing your vector graphics and text. Stay tuned for upcoming releases, as we continue to expand our collection of effects.
- Raster/Shader Effects: Friction offers experimental support for user-customizable shader effects. A limited set of effects are included.
