SiteMotion & Animation · Animation engines
Minimalist animation library that only touches CSS matrix transforms and opacity, keeping every animation on the compositor thread.
Why it’s a gem
Deliberately refuses to animate slow properties — performance by constraint, not discipline.
Declarative motion-graphics toolbelt for bursts, shape swirls and custom timelines; built for particle-style UI flourishes, not tweening DOM.
Functional, framework-agnostic motion primitives — springs, decay, keyframes, inertia — usable as building blocks under any renderer.
3KB Promise-based animation module for CSS and SVG properties, using requestAnimationFrame with no dependencies or plugin system.
Hybrid engine combining the Web Animations API with a JS spring runtime, shipping React, Vue and vanilla bindings.
ES6 tweening engine that interpolates numbers, colors, vectors and objects with a chainable API and no DOM assumptions.
Timeline-based animation engine covering CSS, SVG, DOM attributes and JS objects; v4 rewrote it into tree-shakeable modules.
