vegas hotel swiping with Principle App

I've taken a few free-time hours in the last couple days to play with Principle App. I had downloaded it on it's initial public launch (somewhere in late 2015 I believe) and wasn't too impressed. It's improved a lot since then. I *love* that they have worked hard on exporting GIFs for Dribbble. Somebody needed to solve that problem at some point. It's exciting to see someone tackle it. Exporting this GIF was ridiculously easy. I had to fine tune the timing and optimize it using a web-based optimizer because GIFs are naturally huge files that don't play well with Dribbble. Still, Principle's export setup eliminated like 80% or more of the hassle.

If you want to learn Principle, I highly suggest *watching the tutorials*. I did not, and it was to my detriment. I'm generally always for 'diving right in', but in this case, I was slamming my head against the wall on things that are explained very well and in short order on Principle's video tutorials.

This is just a simple transition I put together in about 3-4 hours to learn the tool. As I stare out the window in Washington as it snows *again* and I dream about Las Vegas.

My only question from here, that I'd love to see Principle address, is getting the specs to developers. Sure, I was able to put together keyframes using Drivers and make this animation happen, but how do we actually bring it to life in the app? Would love to see a handoff setup.
