Scrolling through that landing page felt a lot smoother & snappier than I would've expected for a page looking like that.

Julian (the author) is a genius. v4 has been in the making for some time, but, boy, is it worth the wait! I have used v3 (I am using it on my landing page and even built a small game engine with it), but this version is on a whole new level. Congrats to the author! Keep up the good work!

With proof!

I have rarely been so impressed with a web tech.

It reminds me how I felt when I first saw the recursive GoL:

yeah. i'm normally not a big fan of these scroll down and "shit-happens" sites, but that is VERY slick and cool. super nice.

Yes - exactly. If they were that smooth and looked that good, I'd like more of them. So creative.

Yeah, this is the one place where doing it like this is 100% appropriate.

I think part of the trick is that each unit of scrolling takes you quite far down the animation sequence (so scrolling doesn't feel like a long effort)

I don't even remember seeing such a fantastic landing page in long time. it makes you realise how bad others are.

I cannot believe this is real, it was so well done. It felt like creativity of the internet from the early 2000s met the polished design standards of today.

Hey I'm the author of the lib, I think this is my favorite comment about the landing page I read so far. I've started learning web development with Flash in the 2000s, so this hits home. Thank you!

Wow, that homepage was one of the more complex and layer filled interactive animations that I ever seen running so smoothly on a mobile browser. Those FPS feel like a Doom 2016 on a beefy PC.

Still waiting for the WYSIWYG GUI-base authoring tool for a web animation API. You know what artists - animators - generally don't like? Wading through docs and code to spin a square. It's been about a decade since the average of the various watersheds in the slow death of Flash, and we still don't have a replacement.

Have you tried https://rive.app/ ?

I honestly think it's https://godotengine.org/features/, though I do think the GUI-only WYSIWYG creation flow hits a brick wall a little earlier than Flash did. Lots of content being made with it though!

If you're being honest with yourself, not even close. Maybe if you Frankenstein Blender for asset creation and Godot/Unity for scripting, but it would be just as much of a monster as Shelley's.
