Hi, there,

First of all, thank you for your work (and I mean all of you involved with
that).

I don't know much about kinetic (yeah, I'm out of time for my homework
research ;) ) but, since it has what's needed to "Grow / Shrink / Scale" or
"Expand / Contract in a direction" and even Flip, does it have anything that
will animate and end up like

If so, I suggest it too.

A Pulse effect would be something else I'd find useful for what I'm working
on.

Thinking of something short (Animator would really be the best =/ ), what
about Animation? You could end up with something like Animation.add() (or
just Animation a; a.add(X); but still clear to know what that object is) ...
Just an idea that came across my head ...
