three.js
JavaScript 3D library
three.js is a lightweight and easy-to-use JavaScript 3D library with its own default WebGL renderer. It works by creating a scene with a camera and a geometric cube, the latter of which is added to the scene. This will become the animated object within the scene. A WebGL renderer is created for the scene and the camera, with an added viewport to the document.body element. Finally, the cube is animated within the scene for the camera. A plethora of examples can be found in the project’s website (https://threejs.org/) which use Canvas 2D, SVG and CSS3D renderers that the library also provides. -

MixItUp 3
Library for animated filtering, sorting, insertion, removal and more
MixItUp is a high-performance, dependency-free library for animated DOM manipulation, giving you the power to filter, sort, add and remove DOM elements with beautiful animations. MixItUp plays nice with your existing HTML and CSS, making it a great choice for responsive layouts and compatible with inline-flow, percentages, media queries, flexbox and more. MixItUp is open source and free to use for non-commercial, educational and non-profit use. For use in commercial projects, a commercial license is required. Most commonly, MixItUp is applied to a "container" of "target" elements, which could be a portfolio of projects, a list of blog posts, a selection of products, or any kind of UI where filtering and/or sorting would be advantageous. Targets can be filtered using any valid selector e.g. '.category-a', and are sorted via optional custom data attributes e.g. 'data-order'. -

Lottie-Web
Render After Effects animations natively
Lottie-Web renders vector animations exported from Adobe After Effects as lightweight JSON, playing them in the browser via SVG or Canvas. Animations remain crisp at any resolution, load quickly compared to videos or GIFs, and can be controlled programmatically for interactivity. The runtime supports playback options like loop, autoplay, segment control, and event hooks, making it easy to sync motion with UI state. Because animations are data rather than pixels, designers and developers can collaborate: designers export with the Bodymovin plugin, and developers integrate the JSON with minimal code. The renderer handles masks, shapes, and keyframe timing to closely mirror After Effects behavior within web constraints. This approach brings high-quality motion design to product interfaces without large asset sizes or complex sprite workflows. -

Typed.js
A JavaScript typing animation library
Typed.js is a library that types. Enter in any string, and watch it type at the speed you've set, backspace what it's typed, and begin a new sentence for however many strings you've set. Rather than using the strings array to insert strings, you can place an HTML div on the page and read from it. This allows bots and search engines, as well as users with JavaScript disabled, to see your text on the page. You can pause in the middle of a string for a given amount of time by including an escape character. CSS animations are built upon initialization in JavaScript. But, you can customize them at your will! -

Velocity
Accelerated JavaScript animation
Velocity is an animation engine with the same API as jQuery's animate. It works with and without jQuery. It's incredibly fast, and it features color animation, transforms, loops, easings, SVG support, and scrolling. It is the best of jQuery and CSS transitions combined. Velocity works everywhere — back to IE8 and Android 2.3. Under the hood, it mimics jQuery's queue, and thus interoperates seamlessly with jQuery's animate, fade, and delay. Since Velocity's syntax is identical to animate, your code doesn't need to change. JavaScript and jQuery are falsely conflated. JavaScript animation, which Velocity uses, is fast; it's jQuery that's slow. Although Velocity works alongside jQuery, it uses its own animation stack that delivers its performance through two underlying principles: 1) synchronize the DOM → tween stack to minimize layout thrashing, and 2) cache values to minimize DOM querying. -

WOW.js
Reveal CSS animation as you scroll down a page
Reveal animations when you scroll. Easily customize animation settings like style, delay, length, offset, iterations, etc. By default, you can use it to trigger animate.css animations. But you can easily change the settings to your favorite animation library. Smaller than other JavaScript parallax plugins, like Scrollorama (they do fantastic things, but can be too heavy for simple needs). Super simple to install, and works with animate.css, so if you already use it, that will be very fast to setup. Fast execution and lightweight code, the browser will like it. It just take seconds to install and use WOW.js! Once purchased on UpLabs, you’ll receive a commercial license PDF and be all set to use WOW.js in your commercial applications. If you want to use WOW.js to develop commercial sites, themes, projects, and applications, the Commercial license is the appropriate license. With this option, your source code is kept proprietary. -

CSS Inspiration
Curated collection of interesting, creative, or inspiring CSS effects
CSS-Inspiration is a living gallery of modern CSS effects and components that highlights what’s possible with pure CSS and minimal markup. The collection ranges from micro-interactions and loaders to 3D transforms, complex backgrounds, hover states, and text effects, each presented as a small, self-contained demo. Source code is front and center, encouraging developers to study, copy, and tweak snippets for their own projects. Many examples lean on contemporary features—custom properties, filters, blend modes, gradients, and keyframes—serving as both inspiration and a practical cookbook. Because each demo focuses on a single idea, it’s an effective way to learn new techniques without wading through a full framework. The project thrives on experimentation and community interest, making it a frequent reference for designers, front-end engineers, and educators who want visually striking yet lightweight solutions. -

CSS Loaders
A collection of loading spinners animated with CSS
css-loaders is a collection of simple, reusable loading spinners and indicators implemented entirely in CSS. The project offers a variety of designs—spinning circles, bouncing dots, bars, and pulse animations—that can be applied to any element with a few classes. Each loader is built using CSS keyframes and transforms, avoiding images or JavaScript, which keeps them lightweight and responsive. Because they are pure CSS, they scale cleanly at different sizes and can be styled easily with color or shadow overrides. Developers can copy snippets directly into their projects without needing to install heavy dependencies. These loaders are widely used in web apps and prototypes to communicate background activity or waiting states to users in a visually pleasing way. -

Christmas Tree
Just a simple Christmas tree, based on reddit story
atree is a lightweight JavaScript library for managing and visualizing hierarchical tree data structures in a flexible and efficient way. It offers core abstractions for creating nodes, building parent–child relationships, and traversing trees with utilities for depth, breadth, and custom iteration strategies. Because tree structures are ubiquitous in computing—from file systems and organizational charts to DOM structures and evolutionary taxonomies—atree provides a reusable foundation for representing and interacting with nested data. It separates the logical model from rendering concerns, so you can use it as the data backbone in UI frameworks, graphs, or custom visual components. The library’s API makes it easy to add, remove, or move nodes anywhere in the hierarchy while maintaining consistent references and performance. -

Effeckt.css
A Performant Transitions and Animations Library
Effeckt.css is a showcase and toolkit of high-performance UI transitions and animations for the web. It catalogs common interaction patterns—button states, list reveals, modals, off-canvas menus, and page transitions—implemented with CSS transforms and opacity for smooth, GPU-friendly motion. The project focuses on practical details such as using compositing-friendly properties, keeping DOM structures lean, and providing hooks so JavaScript can toggle classes without micromanaging animation state. Each effect is isolated, documented, and demoed, allowing designers to copy just what they need rather than dragging in a monolithic framework. By standardizing names and behaviors, it helps teams keep motion design consistent across a product while remaining easy to theme. The library doubled as a learning resource during the rise of CSS animations, showing how to achieve polished interactions without heavy JavaScript. -

Loaders.css
Delightful, performance-focused pure css loading animations
loaders.css is a collection of pure CSS loading animations designed to drop into any web project without JavaScript or image assets. Each loader is built from simple HTML elements animated with CSS keyframes, transforms, and opacity to create spinners, pulses, bars, and geometric patterns. Because they’re vector-based and CSS-driven, the animations scale cleanly at any resolution and look sharp on high-DPI displays. The library emphasizes small, reusable snippets: you copy a minimal markup block, apply the provided class, and tweak size or color through CSS variables or overrides. Animations are crafted to be smooth and performant, relying on GPU-friendly properties to keep frame rates high even on mobile devices. The set covers common loading metaphors (pulsing dots, rotating squares, bouncing bars), giving designers a consistent visual language across a site while keeping bundle size tiny. -

MilkDrop Anywhere
A remote control MilkDrop2 plugin for Windows
Allows you to easily remote control MilkDrop2 VJ Console in Winamp (Windows only) via graphic interface from any browser (via tablet or cellphone perhaps). You must have Apache2 (or any webserver) with PHP 5.4+ running on the same computer Winamp is running on and some basic knowledge of how that all works. Once you've got everything set up and running, it should run near flawlessly (I was using it for a few hours continuously once with no hiccups) There's a readme.txt file inside the zip file with some basic instructions. Check out the Wiki or Discussion tab for up to date instructions, info, and more... If anyone actually uses this, please let me know in the Discussion tab - I don't know if the interest would be that high this day and age but you never know... If you're a programmer, you could tweak this program as a template to remotely control anything you want (just give me some credit, I wrote it from scratch) Not a 100% easy setup, but anyone can do it! -

React Flight
The best way to build animation compositions for React
React Flight is a JavaScript library for UIs built with React that allows you to compose animations and transitions via “flights” where you design a start component, an end component, and the tool handles animating between them. It’s pitched as the “best way to build animation compositions for React” and is inspired by tools such as Principle in the mobile design world. The developer experience emphasises framing: you place elements into Flight.Frame containers, specify key-frames (start and end states), and then trigger animations via APIs (play(), reset()). It supports interactive previewing of frames (via showFrames mode), and integrates (at least at the time) with jQuery/Velocity under the hood (though future versions may remove the jQuery dependency). It’s well-suited for teams creating rich UI transitions, micro-animations and interactive components in React applications. -

React Move
Beautiful, data-driven animations for React
The API for React Move has been essentially stable since the 2.0 version. The 4.0 version of React Move introduced a change that broke the hard dependency on d3-interpolate and introduced the interpolation prop. The current version of React Move will by default only do numeric interpolation and apply easing functions. If you only need to do numeric interpolation you don't need to do anything. Just upgrade and done. The API for React Move 5.x and 6.x is exactly the same. The 5.x version just includes react-lifecycles-compat to make the library work with earlier versions of React. This adds a little to the bundle so use 6.x if you're using React 16.3+. Before looking at the components it might be good to look at starting state. You are going to be asked to define starting states for each item in your NodeGroup and Animate components. This is a key concept and probably the most error prone for developers working with React Move.
