Awwwards participants have been creaming themselves since this has been released. Good to see how much progress it's made. It's certainly right there next to GSAP as a designer tool.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Wow those embedded curve editors with copy and paste conversion into final code are a terrific idea. I've not seen that workflow before, but it is inspired!
Curve editors are heavily used by animators in most animation packages like Maya. The fact that it's supplied for a Javascript library like this shows the creators have really done their homework.
Slightly off-topic, Chrome on my early-2015 MacBook (16GB RAM) lags significantly while rendering most of the demos listed in the repository. If things like this become the norm on the web, one can easily claim that such technologies are not inclusive to most users of the world-wide-web, who do not buy a new latest&greatest desktop computer every 2 years.
The problems usually with the Chrome browser because it updates frequently and the Chromium team changes it a lot, so what was recently woking well might not work well right now. And problems like these are usually regard rendering performance and CSS transforms. So the issues you might see are related to the demos itself(not library) which were highly optimized for recent browsers' engines and those changed. I will revamp the demos shortly to keep them up to date.
Also, I often found that heavy animations work much better on mobile devices like iPhones than at my MacBook Pro mid 2012.
Another powerful animation library for the web with the same issue they all have: I can't give this to my graphic designers to use. Am I the only one who thinks we killed Flash and left a void which no one has filled yet it terms of animating with an intuitive UI?
Why in 2017, where we have 8 core processors and 1080 videocards and games that look like real life, even my 2016 high specs rMBP starts to blow fans full speed and lag whenever I try to run this basic animation in the browser, why these basic web animations require so much processing?? btw Great job with this project, I am going to use it for some ui elements in my projects, I especially love the twitter stars anima…
Is "toolbelt" an actual term for a piece of software? Every single week I see another github project with a completely new term, similar to this one. If it's real what does it mean?

Can you talk a bit about how this compares to GSAP as a designer tool?
Mo.js was released as a proof of concept a while back, but has matured into a similarly designed library with a much more precise focus on motion design. While GSAP didn't explicitly ever state it was for such a purpose, a significant number of designers use the library for exactly that in very large clients' animations.
This is a fantastic library but one warning based on past experiences is that you'll hit performance bottlenecks for full screen type animations on mobile browsers. I ended up re-writing some of my animations in plain old CSS3 transitions to utilize the GPU on Chrome for Android but this library made it so much easier for me to visualize on the desktop first.
Are you saying you're re-writing SVG animations into transitions? I thought SVG was more performant, but can't seem to find metrics and comparison benchmarks

Must be something wrong with your computer / browser. With my 2011 iMac it is absolutely smooth, and there's no increase in CPU use. It's the same on iPhone 6, and it doesn't warm up at all.
