In the world of frontend development, speed, flexibility, and aesthetics are key. While frameworks like Tailwind CSS have revolutionized utility-first design, I felt there was room for something more dynamic—animations and transitions should be as effortless as styling margins or padding.
That’s why I built Animora — a utility-first CSS framework that not only simplifies your design process but also empowers your UI with beautiful, built-in animations and transitions right out of the box.
✨ Why Animora?
Modern web applications demand smooth, interactive experiences. However, adding animations often means writing custom CSS, dealing with keyframes, or pulling in extra libraries. Animora eliminates that hassle by embedding a rich set of animation utilities directly into your workflow.
Key Features:
- 🎨 Utility-First Approach: Inspired by Tailwind CSS but extended for dynamic interfaces.
- 🎞️ Built-in Animations & Transitions: From subtle fades to complex slide-ins — all available as simple classes.
- ⚡ Lightweight & Performant: Designed to keep your CSS minimal and efficient.
- 🔧 Customizable: Easily extend animations or tweak existing ones to match your brand’s style.
- 🌐 No Dependencies: Pure CSS. Plug and play.
🚧 How It Works
Just like utility-first frameworks you're familiar with, Animora uses class-based styling. But now, adding an animation is as easy as:
<div class="animate-fade-in p-4 bg-blue-500 text-white">
Hello, Animora!
</div>
No more switching between CSS files or writing custom keyframes.
