If someone can invent a way to have buttery-smooth HTML5 performance on mobile devices, they'll have solved a significant hard problem. This solution? It's just a hack.
My prototyping framework http://framerjs.com uses the exact same approach, divs positioned with only css matrix transforms. Great for high performance animations. I've sometimes thought about building a full fledged ui framework on top of it but it doesn't work (exactly the same) in all browsers. And I suspect offloading everything to the gpu by default will lead to other sorts of performance issues but I'll have to…

Much of the native desktop software I use is open source. Practically none of the web services I use are open source. There is not much cha…
> Welcome to famo.us > a javascript engine and framework that solves HTML5 performance And doesn't work in Firefox. Aweso.me!
