Cavalry's Web Player.
No one's talking about it.
Why? How??
Cavalry is sometimes known as an After Effects killer, responsive motion software, creative no-code, or a procedural way to design. A way to not just move vectors or pixels around, but to build something where changing one value can cascade and affect everything else you have set.
You decide the relations.
The rules.
How it behaves.
And the system just responds to whatever you give it.
With Web Player, that system no longer has to stay locked inside Cavalry. You can design your own interface, expose only the controls people need, and let someone who has never opened design software create assets from the rules you built.
I had to try it out.
I simplified an asset generator from a project with Daya Ventures, built the UI with HTML/CSS, and vibe coded a bit to get it all to work.
I did it in two evenings.
Still a proof of concept though and deploying it properly would need access control.
But the point is there: designers can build tools that let more people create on-brand content without reading half a brand book.
Or custom creative tools that generate ownable assets and use data to adapt to context.

Designed the landing page for Smug — an AI support agent that resolves tickets, knows exactly when to escalate to a human, and has zero interest in pretending otherwise.
Most AI support tools go the humble, over-apologetic route. Smug does the opposite — the whole brand is built around a smug little cat mascot and copy like "Handled it. You're welcome." It's a genuinely fun brief: figuring out how to make confidence read as charming instead of obnoxious.
Bold electric blue and orange instead of the usual muted SaaS palette, because a product this confident shouldn't look shy about it. 💙
