  • 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

  • React-Kino – Cinematic scroll storytelling for React (1KB core)Mar 2026 · github.com · ▲19

    I built react-kino because I wanted Apple-style scroll experiences in React without pulling in GSAP (33KB for ScrollTrigger alone). The core scroll engine is under 1KB gzipped. It uses CSS position: sticky with a spacer div for pinning — same technique as ScrollTrigger but with zero dependencies. 12 declarative components: Scene, Reveal, Parallax, Counter, TextReveal, CompareSlider, VideoScroll, HorizontalScroll, Progress, Marquee, StickyHeader. SSR-safe, respects prefers-reduced-motion, works with Next.js App Router. Demo: https://react-kino.dev GitHub:…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
