This runs surprisingly very smoothly even on my phone's browser.

This looks to be rendered in real time. I feel this kind of 3d animation would be difficult for me to achieve in blender on my PC.

I love it, but... Going to this page https://animejs.com/documentation/scope/ with ublock origin enabled in my Firefox (136.0.3) immediately crashes the tab. Which certainly made for a funny experience right after scrolling through the very impressive intro animation.

Ooh, fun, reproducible on Firefox for Android. Crash signature [@ JS::Heap ::exposeToActiveJS ].

Not seeing this with 137.

The one thing I'm missing is the brag page. Knowing GSAP I'd really like to see why it would be better. It doesn't have to be a fair comparison. Greensock can then say why they'd still be better. But as we do have options it would be nice to see where they match and where they differ.

And Pixi

I'm interested in creating animated technical diagrams. I'm looking for something high level that would allow rapid progress on prototyping a diagram. Perhaps vaguely analogous to manim, but either native JS or producing lightweight assets that can be hosted in a web page. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Still waiting for the WYSIWYG GUI-base authoring tool for a web animation API. You know what artists - animators - generally don't like? Wading through docs and code to spin a square. It's been about a decade since the average of the various watersheds in the slow death of Flash, and we still don't have a replacement.

If you read the source of both and spend 5 minutes on the issues of each and you will see that GSAP is a dated turd with more layers of cruft than photoshop and they still can’t do ESM or Typescript right even though they charge money for important features.

AnimeJS is S-tier, up there with Pixi in quality, albeit smaller scope. V3 was a bit rough but v4 has been baking for a long time.

The performance, code quality, ease of use, size, everything is worse in GSAP.

Scrolling through that landing page felt a lot smoother & snappier than I would've expected for a page looking like that.

yeah. i'm normally not a big fan of these scroll down and "shit-happens" sites, but that is VERY slick and cool. super nice.

Yeah, this is the one place where doing it like this is 100% appropriate.
