Animation engines, motion primitives, scroll effects and the CSS tooling around them.

Mostly written in JavaScript, Swift, Vim Script, TypeScript and Vue.

How this list is ranked. By total GitHub stars at the last daily refresh — a popularity signal, not a measure of quality, fit or safety. Star counts in the AI category are known to be inflated by fake-star campaigns, so each row leads with push activity and license instead. No commit in this collection has completed security review yet, so treat every entry as unreviewed discovery metadata.
