React-kino: Cinematic Scroll-Driven Storytelling for React & Next.js

react-kino: a scroll-driven animation library for React and Next.js that maps page scroll progress to declarative component animations.

Key features:

  • Sub-1 KB core engine (@react-kino/core) with zero dependencies
  • Components: <Scene>, <Reveal>, <ScrollTransform>, <Parallax>, <Counter>, <VideoScroll>, <TextReveal>, <HorizontalScroll>
  • SSR-safe — renders on the server, animates on the client after hydration
  • Automatic prefers-reduced-motion support across all components
  • Tree-shakeable — unused components stay out of the final bundle
  • CLI scaffolding via npx @react-kino/cli init for quick project setup
  • Pre-built Product Launch, Case Study, and Portfolio page templates

No GSAP. No imperative timelines. Just React components.
