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?

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.
