Webflow acquired GSAP.
Long term, it’s hard to imagine Webflow will allow other competitive offerings to use their acquired industry flagship animation library? That would of course be interesting but certainly to their benefit to pull the plug in such cases.
We shall wait and see what webflow wanna do with that library. Hopefully Pinegrow won’t lose Interactions. That would not be nice.
Seems like a greater benefit is making money off everyone.
Hi.
GSAP has been acquired by Webflow…
How can this affect Pinegrow?
Webflow said that the existing license pricing and terms isn’t changing. I’m sure Pinegrow is going to look closely at everything, but I don’t anticipate any changes in the Interactions module or licenses.
It may never become an issue, current verbiage surrounding it seems safe, though with acquisitions it’s not uncommon for things to change drastically with time. Regardless, amusing that Pinegrow Interactions is now powered by a Webflow product.
Hopefully, Adam. Hopefully.
When I read that, instant dread like when Canva purchased Affinity 
.
But as Adam says, they have promised no changes.
If anything it’s additional revenue outside of Webflow, for Webflow, not to mention more resources. I guess we will see long term though.
Beyond assurances in the linked blog post, we asked our contacts at Greensock for clarification on the longterm availability of GSAP as a library. Will let you know, once we receive a reply.
In general, Pinegrow Interactions consist of three parts:
This separation would allow us to plug in a different animation library, in case GSAP is no longer available. But, we are not there yet and there is no indications of this happening any time soon.
Thanks @matjaz for your input around this.
Just heard back from Jack Doyle, the Greensock founder, and he reiterated their long-term commitment to keeping GSAP open and honoring all existing deals.
Great news. That is how it should be, but not everyone is ethical. Thank you for the update @matjaz.
Webflow’s GSAP for everyone 
, viva la Webflow.
