TorusKit – Web Animations Right in HTML

Hacker News

Hi HN, TorusKit is a JavaScript library that lets you create simple or complex web (CSS) animations right in the HTML. No need to create any JS or CSS files. I was working on this couple of years to be as simple to use as possible. It uses [data-tor] attributes with a simple (low-code like) syntax: <div data-tor="animate:[[translateX(2rem)], [scale(1.5)] <1s, infinite, alternate>]">Hello</div> It’s kind of like AOS (Animate On Scroll), but more flexible and not just limited to scroll, also simpler than GSAP for someone who doesn't like the code complexity. It supports things like: – Animations and chaining – Scroll-based animations (parallax) – Mouse-follow effects – Stagger + group animations – And much more I’m still fixing bugs and edge cases, but it’s functional and stable enough for small/medium sites. It works best with WordPress, Bootstrap-based, or other static pages. The Svelte support is coming soon! Site: https://toruskit.com Docs: https://docs.toruskit.com I’d really appreciate any feedback. Thanks!
