Wow, this is incredibly laggy on Ubuntu Firefox...

I'm interested in creating animated technical diagrams. I'm looking for something high level that would allow rapid progress on prototyping a diagram. Perhaps vaguely analogous to manim, but either native JS or producing lightweight assets that can be hosted in a web page. Does anyone have any suggestions?

The one thing I'm missing is the brag page. Knowing GSAP I'd really like to see why it would be better. It doesn't have to be a fair comparison. Greensock can then say why they'd still be better. But as we do have options it would be nice to see where they match and where they differ.

If you read the source of both and spend 5 minutes on the issues of each and you will see that GSAP is a dated turd with more layers of cruft than photoshop and they still can’t do ESM or Typescript right even though they charge money for important features.

AnimeJS is S-tier, up there with Pixi in quality, albeit smaller scope. V3 was a bit rough but v4 has been baking for a long time.

The performance, code quality, ease of use, size, everything is worse in GSAP.

And Pixi

I love how CSS Transforms are so efficient. This is a great lightweight alternative over GSAP.

Whomever designed that interactive landing page animation deserves some kind of Nobel prize.

I remember using the same library few years ago for a stagger effect. Glad to see it's still alive and doing even better. The intro experience was beautifully crafted. It has me convinced to add an use to my projects

the website is just a blank black page for me no matter how long I wait. clearly that's not what it's supposed to be going by the other comments, so that's a bit disappointing.

What does your network tab in the browser's dev tools show?

just a bunch of status 200 GET requests. a few are scripts, but mostly just images

Same here on Firefox 128 ESR.

Works perfectly in Firefox 137

Same for Cachy(weird mix of some of Librewolf and other patches), currently at 136 with uBO.

Are there authoring tools available, as with Lottie, or is it code-only?

Ooh, this reminds me a lot of MooTools' optional FX package back in the early aughts. I've still got it in a couple places because it's been difficult to replace.
