Hi @NoeAL and everyone still using this incredible resource!
Like many of you in the reviews, I absolutely love this tool. Since the original version hasn't been updated in a while and still has some limitations on modern systems and layout flexibility, I decided to give it a massive overhaul and launch a fully upgraded, modernized open-source version!
I've just published the repository on GitHub: https://github.com/alhamodi/animated-lower-thirds
✨ Here is what’s new in this upgraded version:
* 16 Premium Templates: Includes beautiful new styles like Gold, Emerald, Minimalist Glass (perfect for corporate/lectures), and dedicated Ramadan/Heritage themes.
* True Drag & Drop: You can now drag the lower third directly with your mouse from the control panel preview to reposition it anywhere on your stream layout instantly.
* Advanced Offset & Animation Sliders: Adjust X/Y Offsets, change animation speeds, and switch transition directions (Left, Right, Fade, or Elastic) directly via sliders.
* Native Arabic Typography Support: Fully optimized for right-to-left layout and comes with built-in premium fonts (Cairo, Tajawal, Almarai, Changa, Amiri) selectable with a single click.
* Fixed macOS Setup Issues: Included clear documentation and a lightweight local server script (server.py) to completely bypass the CORS/Local File updates issue on Mac without manually hacking paths.
* Modern Dev Stack: Rebuilt and tested using Vitest and Playwright to ensure long-term framework stability and bulletproof BroadcastChannel API performance.
Everything is fully open-source under the MIT license, keeping the exact same spirit of sharing that this community started.
Feel free to check it out, clone it, and let me know your thoughts! If you have any feedback or feature requests, let's keep the project alive on the GitHub repo.
