Framer Motion

In plain words

Framer Motion is an open-source React animation library designed for developers building production applications. It enables simple animations and gesture handling with an intuitive API, succeeding the earlier Pose library. The library is built to streamline the handoff between designers and developers, reducing friction in the development process. It serves React developers who need accessible animation tools without complex configuration.

Super excited to announce Framer Motion! It's the successor to Pose and is the same simple animation and gesture library that's been powering the Framer Library API. Now production-ready and open source. Bonus: It makes developer handover near-frictionless!

  I reverse engineered top websites to build an animated UI library2025 · reverseui.com · ▲156

  Looking at websites such as Clerk, I began thinking that design engineers might be some kind of wizards. I wanted to understand how they do it, so I started reverse-engineering their components out of curiosity. One thing led to another, and I ended up building a small library of reusable, animated components based on what I found. The library is built in React and Framer Motion. I’d love to hear your feedback
