Devs, please don't use this. it is unusable for me when browsing in a VM with a pretty snappy internet connection. The only other site that has compute/graphics resource issues for me is Netflix (its competition Prime, Youtube,etc.. have no issues, so i can only presume bad software dev decisions).

This has nothing to do with internet connection and everything to do with hardware accelerated graphics.

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

Does it provide fewer footguns for less experienced devs though?

Looks very nice!

Having said that: I severely hate content in this form, where you have to scroll like your life depends on it just to read a paragraph or two.

I was absolutely floored by the website, what a way to knock it out of the park.

I have never heard of this library before, but it’s going to stick in my head the next time I’m looking for a JS animation lib.

Definitely kinda highlights the importance of first impressions.

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.

I can confirm. It's not a 100% occurrence, but browsing through that section ends up crashing the tab.

It could just be me running a CPU that's too old or an unconventional browser (Microsoft Edge), but the website is extremely laggy (less than 1 update per second) and the tab immediately starts using 80% of my CPU with fans blaring. Got an 8th gen Intel i7 if it matters.

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 verified hardware accel works.
