Some details
Animatron is a simple and powerful online tool that allows to create stunning HTML5 animations and other visual content (cartoons, 2D games, presentations, etc.). The client’s main product is a web application called the Editor. It is built to enable the creation of animated content within a browser.
Redwerk was asked to develop a website to manage the content created by users in the Editor and to add some additional
meta functions. Some of the main functions of the app were:Sign-in

The client intended to split the software development process into several milestones.
In the first phase, the HTML/CSS code and service aspects of the project were developed. This was chosen as the first step because this work did not depend on the API. We used mock storage solutions in order to give the client the chance to judge the look and feel of our interactive designs.
The second milestone was primarily concerned with API-related issues. After the REST specifications were confirmed, we implemented a prototype model that was later used for the communication between the REST API and the web part. SSL Certificates were implemented. This made it easier to build the live deployment solution later on.
The third milestone was to design the user interface for users logged in to the system, which in turn brought about changes in the general design. In addition, a couple of new functions had to be implemented.
