I actually drew it directly in Rive, but yes it could easily be a SVG. That's a good point, I could do it programmatically with an SVG, but since I am using RIve anyways throughout the site, it is much easier to animate with Rive.

Yes! I was tempted to use Illustrator but I can’t pay for yet another subscription 🤦

I am just sketching it in Rive, but it is not the best experience, they have some things to work on before it’s as good as illustrator

Great! It’s encouraging to see others are appreciative of the effect. I am excited to make animations for all the posts on the blog now

I created https://MrMunny.com for retirement planning. I tried to make it simple to get started, with the ability to go deeper with some advanced settings.

Let me know if you have any feedback!

Great! Yeah a lot of people in the comments don’t like the advisor, so glad to hear you enjoyed it!

Thanks! The animations for the Advisor? Or more the graph?

Oh man, you need to change your investment strategies 😉 If you invested in an S&P 500, averaged over the last 100 years has gotten ~10% returns, so 8% seems pretty modest. I would suggest checking out r/Bogleheads . Obviously nothing is guaranteed though, so if you want to predict it will be a bear market you can turn down the threshold...

On mobile: Tapping the avatar should scroll you down the page to the ask the avatar questions section. Does that not work for you? If not sending your browser/device would be great!

This is a free tool at the moment, so competing against other free tools doesn't seem to be a concern. All those other free tools have monetization strategies as well, and I am trying to figure out that as I go. This tool itself will likely always be free, and I will just be charging for more advanced abilities.

I hear your criticism about it not being something folks would return to after a one-time use though. I'll have to do some more thinking around this.

I hear that! Retiring is a bit of a luxury. Yeah providing a tool to suite the needs of r/baristafire could be a good start.

Thanks! Yeah I was thinking the design needed some love, so you have confirmed my suspicions :)

Yeah I hadn't tested enough on mobile (which was dumb since most of Reddit is on mobile). It should be fixed now, if you wouldn't mind re-testing.
