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

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

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.

Yes - exactly. If they were that smooth and looked that good, I'd like more of them. So creative.

The landing page is amazing! The only issue I found with it was when checking the responsive layout example, I tried to resize my browser window and then the scroll was reset to top :(

Handling resize is a different beast than being responsive. Working for every viewport dimension under the sun is not the same thing as gracefully handling an animation while the viewport size changes - the latter is much more challenging.

I agree, I was not even expecting it to handle the resize well. I just thought the landing page wanted me to resize my window to test responsiveness (before I noticed that the animation itself changes the content area size).

That being said, when resizing a window, the scrollbar should not reset/jump to top. At the very least, it should revert to what it was when going back to full size.

I cannot believe this is real, it was so well done. It felt like creativity of the internet from the early 2000s met the polished design standards of today.

It's clever, but honestly I don't care how smooth it is. Scrolling should simply scroll a view up or down a page. Not invoke animation. We already have established UX patterns for playing media, slowing it down, speeding it up, randomly seeking through it.

Animation isn't really "playing media".

Julian (the author) is a genius. v4 has been in the making for some time, but, boy, is it worth the wait! I have used v3 (I am using it on my landing page and even built a small game engine with it), but this version is on a whole new level. Congrats to the author! Keep up the good work!

> Julian (the author) is a genius.

With proof!

I have rarely been so impressed with a web tech.

Bravo, been looking forward to this but AnimeJs v3 has just been so solid for so long honestly you did amazing on v3 that v4 is just icing on top; excited to try this out on my next project.

async/await + animation (ie- with AnimeJS) is highly underrated.

And mad props for skipping the now dying trend of refactoring entire codebase to TypeScript :)
