Hi guys, happy to see `mojs` here! I'm the person who've started the project and would be more than happy to answer any questions you have.


This is a bit off topic but I'm curious what your background is in? I noticed that not only is your visual design good but also your sound design as well. Were you in animation and media and decided to pick up coding or the other way around?

In any case, thank you for creating this and hope to see this project continue to grow.


I've been following this project since the very first time I saw it on Codepen [0].

You've done an amazing job creating an amazing library. One that I advertise every opportunity I get. Thank you!

Thank you, Nadya! It has a lot of unreleased features so stay tuned!


How does a project like this get started / maintained? It's incredibly well done, looks like a ton of work went into it. Is it a side project or apart of some bigger org?


Hi, thank for the question!

I was doing a lot of animation work and there was a lack of animation tools I've got used to, so I've started to write modules myself. After a while, I noticed the system in what I've written so decided to release it.

As for maintaining part - it is heavily covered with unit and environmental tests, of course, it adds some overhead but ensures that your tool is robust and works in every browser.

It is a side project and we still expect more contributions from the community.


Can you recommend a resource for understanding conceptually the basics of animation applied to UI ? I'm thinking something similar to how Google explains material design animations[1] I'm always afraid to introduce animations, I'd like to know if there are some principles I could apply to create something with "good taste"

Alot of thoughts in here about workflow, but also around slide 30, about principles: http://slides.com/sdrasner/style-guide-anim#/

Say I have three circles moving somewhat randomly through the screen. How do I draw lines through them so they form a triangle?
