[Looking for] Animators to test my add-on

hi I created an add-on I call PowerMove and I'm looking for feedback.

from my experience blocking animation is very tedious: G, rotate view, R, rotate view, R again, G again, rotate view, etc, etc.

so I created this simple add-on: you enter PowerMove mode and you don't need to press G, R, etc. instead you simply drag bones with the mouse. (personally I create animation blocking more than twice as fast than without it)

it has intuitive controls: Left mouse to move, Right mouse to rotate, Alt+Right mouse to trackball rotate and all standard blender actions are supported. you can also switch bones while still in PowerMove mode using Alt+Left mouse.

download here: (ps. if install fails try extracting the files from the zip) github.com/hananbeer/powermove

I tried creating a video but it's not very clear from just looking (even with screencast keys) need to feel it I guess..

let me know if you think this sped up your workflow.
