I've always viewed "first ever" or "best ever" or really any superlative claim with huge prejudice. As in, that's quite a claim to be making without providing evidence.
On the plus side, I couldn't find that claim anywhere on the site.
My point and suggestion being, try to avoid making claims like that if you can't or don't support them. Perhaps I'm a rare pragmatic fuddy-duddy, but pure marketing hype really turns me off of a product/service.
(cofounder here) after we implemented svg+smil export I was searching for some tool which does it as well, but could not find anything. i am not saying it does not exist, but we just could not find it.
if you know it please let us know, we will stop claiming it :)
As I just mentioned below [1], I'm just trying to give my feedback on the title and the fact that it (along with most superlatives) feels insincere to me when other great marketing points are available. It also doesn't tell me the things I'd like to hear, such as the feature set or some defining characteristic/feature, aside from "first to market."
I'd actually take the opinion that it's a high-risk low-reward claim to make. Either you're wrong, and your audience will know, or you're right. If you're the first, though, most people in a given target audience probably would have noticed without it being mentioned. Heck, if you're not the first but they haven't heard of another, they might assume you were first and not even think to look into the claim (thus discovering alternative products).
If I'm way off base (or if not), feel free to disregard my comments. As always, though, I like learning why I'm wrong when I am.
Also, rereading my initial comment, I may have come across as more hostile than I meant to. "Huge prejudice" should probably read "skepticism".
That's definitely a good point, but my personal reaction in that case would be to not make that claim. Such claims feel insincere to me and I'd rather hear "an excellent tool for creating animations and exporting them to SVG and SMIL" or something similar. I'm not saying I'm a marketing guru by any means, though. Just trying to give my honest feedback as one of the target audience.
Since Universe is Infinite, it is scientifically impossible to prove non-existence of something.
Still people tend to claim of being first at something.
Americans claim they are first humans walked on the Moon. Is it provable? Did they monitor the Moon all the time it's exists? May be there was another civilization of humans which waked all over the Moon centures ago?
Did Columbus discovered America? - there were people living on the land! etc.
It is all relative, sure.
