This to me is what makes a frontend library stand out above the rest – direct side-by-side comparisons with vanilla HTML/CSS/JavaScript.

A developer considering your library should know exactly what underlying built-in API is being abstracted over so they can learn it for themselves.

I'll join as soon as I can clean all the drool off my keyboard and desk.

Right??

Now to find out how he made it!

Browser built-ins have come such a long way! Most libraries are just ergonomic syntax improvements now.

This is the level of quality and craft on the internet that I would like to have become the norm.

The culmination of the last ten years of animation web standards. So hyped.

Oh okay thanks for that breakdown! I imagine that this will be a catalysts that spurs improving changes amongst those other competing… frameworks(?)(If that’s the accurate Jargon to use here).

It’s always so intriguing to me that things on the web are built on-top of ever-changing, interdependent components.

My cursory impression is it’s basically GSAP, but if it were written from scratch today using the 2025 iteration of web standards, browser APIs and JavaScript tooling instead of what was available in 2012.

That means first-class abstractions on top of CSS variables, individual CSS transform properties like `rotate` / `translate` / `scale`, Intersection Observers, the Web Animations API, full type safety with CSSOM + TypeScript and a bunch more goodies that browsers know how to optimize and are otherwise impossible to facilitate with user-land JavaScript.

That’s an insanely impressive homepage & breakdown.

I’m still on the outskirts of coding & the like, but always fascinated by these kind of emerging innovations.

Are you familiar with how this might differ from GSAP, Lottie or Rive? Performance or otherwise?

okay. this is the coolest thing i've seen in a while.

Very dope. Best site I have seen to showcase a libraries capabilities. Will give it a go

I am so excited to try this out! I’ve been defaulting to using framer motion but really want to give this a try
