ABeamer - Frame-by-Frame Web Animation Framework

For web developers and animators seeking an alternative to traditional CSS animations, ABeamer offers a distinct approach with its frame-by-frame animation capabilities. Unlike CSS animations that typically respond to user interactions, ABeamer harnesses web technology with a unique frame-based engine, designed to operate independently of user actions. With ABeamer, each frame is rendered precisely at a defined frames-per-second rate, enabling seamless server-side rendering of animations into animated GIFs or video clips.
