    Hey, thanks! Mimicking in-page interactions is possible already by changing elements between pages, and being able to control how you animate between them. But we are looking at ways of supporting other types of in-page interactions, that don't require as many pages to be created. Are you designing for mobile or desktop? What most would you like to see?

    Love the design of Marvel btw. Big fan.

      I design for both mobile and web - so I'm after something with a lot of freedom.

      I'm talking about things like pseudo states, live elements (form elements, scrollable areas etc.), autocomplete inputs, typeahead search. Other things like spring animations would be cool too. Basically, I'm interested in complex interactions/animations. I know I'm asking a lot, just wondering what your thoughts are around that area :)

      I just joined the Marvel team, so can't take much credit for the design, but I'll pass it along!

        Well I can say that we're definitely trying to cater to mobile and desktop design use cases, and expect to be improving both fairly evenly as we move forward. As for specific interactive components, we'll get to them in time starting with where we see the biggest need/demand. Can't give dates for those yet though sorry.

      Also, are there any hacks to get around the fact that the whole page transitions, even though I just want to change the state of a single element? I can see all text getting blurry during the transition.

      Being able to apply interactions/transitions on a per element basis as opposed to a page to page basis would fix that, right?

        No real hacks at the moment for that. We see real benefits to designers designing each state in a page first, then being able to wire those things together. Means that each state is surfaced visually in the tool and can be reviewed & commented on if needed. In saying that, as I mentioned before, we are looking at ways of supporting other types of in-page interactions.

        If you're having specific issues with blurriness, that might be something we can fix or find a workaround for. Please contact us through the feedback mechanism in the app or email support@atomic.io and we'll look into it.
