Do they explain how they made the landing page or share the code somewhere? I agree, it's stunning.

Hey I'm the author of the lib, I'm thinking about making a course on how to re-create the landing page, would that be something you're interested in?

I would sign up for the course immediately!

What I would be particularly interested in: What is the creative process of turning an animation idea into code? Suppose I have an idea of what the animation should look like: What is the best way to approach the task of expressing the animation in code?

I’m confused, is this sarcasm? On a mobile device the page requires miles of scrolling to go through a few sentences while rotating around a meaningless graphic. Signal to noise ratio is abysmal.

Maybe it displays oddly on your phone but all I’ve seen is effusive praise for how the landing page is constructed. The graphic is meaningless but the information around it is informative. The graphic itself is meant to inspire rather than inform.

Thank you this makes sense. I had to scroll a lot to see one sentence-long phrase to change into another and found this too demanding for the payoff.

The graphic was pretty but did not provide additional insight for me.

As for execution- could’ve been frame-by-frame scroll-driven animation as far as I’m concerned.

What GPU do you have?

It's a laptop GPU - there's the integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 card and the dedicated NVIDIA GeForce MX150. Both are pretty old (6-7 years?) but are capable of running most 3D games so I was a bit surprised. EDIT: P.S. What might help debug is that I have hardware acceleration enabled in the browser, but the GPU is not doing any work on the animejs homepage. For e.g. YouTube, the GPU does a lot of work so I've ver…

Youtube would be playing videos which tend to run on GPUs.

But just because you have hardware accelerated videos doesn't mean that everything in your browser is hardware accelerated.

I'd recommend checking out "edge://flags" in your browser, then searching for "canvas" and see if hardware acceleration is enabled.

the website is just a blank black page for me no matter how long I wait. clearly that's not what it's supposed to be going by the other comments, so that's a bit disappointing.

Same here on Firefox 128 ESR.

Works perfectly in Firefox 137

Yes please, is there a site or something that you have to collect emails for those interested?

You can leave your email in the footer of the landing page > https://animejs.com/#site-footer I'll set up a dedicated temporary page for the course soon. Thanks for the interest!

FYI: The form is erroring with "Something went wrong. Please try again later."

Sorry about that. I had lots of issues with this form... I added a dedicated page for joining the wait list for the course I'm making about recreating the landing page. You can join here: https://animejs.com/learn/ (this signup form should work, otherwise you can email me directly at the email address listed below it)
