Show HN: I am trying to re-define communication (opens in new tab)

I am trying to build a way to let people communicate not only with text- but also emotion and animation. Its a great challenge, part of which is developing a language syntax in a message format that anyone can use easily and still work with existing technology.

Nice demo, though I'm not completely sure how you are 're-defin[e]'ing communication.

Is there a pun I'm missing? Why the hyphen?

before clicking the link, I thought 'well, at least you've targeted a huge market.

But upon seeing the animated message, I couldn't figure out why that 're-defines' communication.

You've definitely done a great job of making it easy to create a cool visual message and edit that message, but do I want colourful animated messages? I'm just not sure.

re defining it by allowing people to communicate with animation as well as text. I guess it would be more accurate to say I am trying to open another channel of communication or providing a new method of communication. Ideally I am allowing anyone to create a message with animation and use that to send communication.
