Atropos is a lightweight, open-source JavaScript library designed to add visually striking 3D parallax and hover effects to webpage elements — giving a sense of depth and interactivity when users hover or touch elements (cards, images, UI components). It works not only with vanilla JavaScript, but also provides integrations or support for modern frameworks (React, Vue, Web Components, etc.), making it easy to incorporate into a variety of web projects. Because Atropos is very small (just ~2 KB minified + gzipped) and has zero dependencies, it's ideal for performance-conscious applications and does not bloat bundle size. Developers can customize parameters — for example, perspective, rotation, scale, and responsiveness to pointer/touch events — to fine-tune how elements respond to user interaction.
