Nevertheless, Sarah Drasner Coded

I'm currently hacking on...

I'm working on a lightweight youtube-like player for animations. It currently works for GreenSock Timelines, you can plug your animation timeline in, and it creates a player, with speed, dark and light UI, stop/start, and replay functionality. I like the idea that people don't have to use something like really heavy flash, gif, or mp4s to create a beautiful and immersive animation on the web. All you need is a little javascript!

Here's the repo: https://github.com/sdras/gsap-player

I'm excited about...

I'm pretty much a web-dev puppy, so I'm excited about a ton of things- including but not limited to: performant animations, flexible SVGs, VR technology, JavaScript frameworks like Vue and React, and general Front-End development and techniques.

My advice for other women who code is...

Find the thing that excites you- be it a technology, an optimization, or a programming paradigm. Coding takes diligence, time, and sticking to it through the problems. Finding something you're enthusiastic about can stave off burn-out and rejuvenate you even when it gets tough.
