Today we're going to run-through 9 free, well-coded animation libraries best-suited to UI design work — covering their strengths and weaknesses, and when to choose each one.
Front-end web design has been through a revolution in the last decade. In the late noughties, most of us were still designing static magazine layouts. Nowadays, we’re building “digital machines” with thousands of resizing, coordinated, moving parts.
Quite simply, great UI designers need to be great animators too — with a solid working understanding of web animation techniques and tech.
Keep in mind that we’re looking at each library from the perspective of a code-savvy UI designer, not as a “code guru” developer. Some of these libraries are pure CSS. Others are JavaScript, but none require anything more than basic HTML/CSS and/or JavaScript understanding to be useful.
