So, last night I was listening to Jack's awesome interview with egghead.io (https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/egghead-io-instructor-chats/id1308497805#) and he started talking about all the unexpected uses of GSAP, and it got me thinking; what have I used GSAP for? And I realized the range is from pretty typical to not so typical! My line of work is for a few large clients. So I've used GSAP on many projects; some externally facing (marketing sites) ... some for "exclusive" groups (targeted marketing), and many internally facing (for very specific groups ... members and employees). So, for the typical stuff, it's Immersive content UI indicators and helpers UX sauce For the not so typical, it get's pretty varied pretty quick! But the one project that sticks out the most is GSAP as the heart of a frontend delivery system (backed by Drupal) that drives a community cable channel for a gated resort community in GA. The Drupal side allows content managers to create and place 3 types of media; image slideshows, video, and embedded (iframed) HTML. They have control over timings and transitions which map out to GSAP, background audio playlists and ducking (the ducking is tweened with GSAP ), and asset publish/unpublish dates. For the embedded HTML ... they are calling in external sites which are slideshows, but managed by another group for another purpose; a real estate listings slideshow of active properties within the community that is displayed on a large screen in their sales office which is ... you guessed it ... GSAP! It cycles through 280 properties (+/- a few) daily; transitioning in a property image, then a delayed detail and pricing overlay slides over a portion of the image. But back to the cable channel ... every asset and configuration managed on the Drupal side is fed through custom template files that generate all the GSAP Timelines and Tweens. It has been running for years and is rock solid! So, my not so typical uses are cable channel programming (in the sense of delivering programmed content), digital kiosks, and digital signage. So, I'm curious ... what have others used GSAP for that might be a little outside the norm?! Edit: I changed the title from "What have you done with GreenSock?" to "How have you used GreenSock?" Upon reading it back some time later ... it occured to me that the title could be implying that something is wrong with GreenSock Of course there isn't!
