+# tempblade Creator
+
+tempblade creator is a motion design application, build with typescript, skia, rust using tauri.
+Its currently in an early alpha stage, and there may be larger design changes to the overall structuring
+of the project.
+
+## How does it work?
+
+Currently rust is used for things like keyframe interpolation and overall timeline calculation which then gets passed
+to the frontend in javascript/typescript. This happens using tauris IPC.
+
+### Current features
+
+- Interpolate keyframes linear, eased using predefined functions or using spring simulations
+- Creation, drawing and animation of the following primitives: rect, ellipse, text and staggered text
+- A timeline for handling multiple primitives
+- Handle complex staggered text animations, built on skias layout tools
+- Stroke and fill paint
+- Fully typed
+- Multithreaded timeline/keyframe interpolation calculation using rayon
+- Runtime typesafety thanks to zod in typescript
+
+### Features currently w.i.p
+
+- Effects system for skias built in image filters like blurring
+
+### Long-term goals
+
+- Integration with OpenFX inside rust
+- Standalone rust rust rendering using vulkan and or metal by using rust-skia
+- Standalone package for drawing (currently the logic is already decoupled from ui)
+- Caching system for the rendered keyframes (currently interpolation calculation happens during playback, this could easily be cached)
