We're thrilled to introduce Animata, our latest free and open-source project tailored to enhance your React and Tailwind applications with stunning animations. Whether you're hunting for creative ideas, need a solid starting point, or are eager to dive deep into CSS animations, Animata is here to streamline your process.
The Problem We’re Solving
If you’ve ever tried to implement custom animations, you know how quickly the process can get overwhelming. Here are some common pain points:
Time-Consuming Research: Finding the right animation example or inspiration can eat up hours of your development time.
Tedious Code Writing: Crafting animations manually is often a painstaking process that can lead to errors and inconsistencies.
CSS Complexity: Mastering CSS animations takes time, especially when trying to ensure everything works across all browsers.
We created Animata to address these challenges, so you can focus on creating outstanding web experiences instead of wrestling with animation code.
What Animata Brings to the Table
Animata isn’t just another collection of animation snippets—it’s a comprehensive toolkit designed to inspire, simplify, and educate.
A Source of Inspiration: Animata’s library is full of ready-to-use animation components that will jumpstart your creativity. Whether you’re looking for a subtle effect or a more elaborate animation, you’ll find something that fits.
Built for Customization: Our components are unstyled by default, making them easy to adapt to your specific design needs. While we add basic styling for previews, you have complete freedom to style them your way.
Educational by Design: Animata is as much about learning as it is about implementation. Each component is thoroughly documented, allowing you to learn the ins and outs of CSS animations by diving into the code.
Highlights of Animata
Variety at Your Fingertips: With over 40 components available (and more on the way), Animata offers everything from simple hover effects to complex animations.
Customization-First Approach: We provide minimal default styling so that you can integrate our components into your project seamlessly. You can easily tailor each animation to match your vision.
Community Contributions: Animata is open to contributions! We believe in community-driven development and welcome anyone to submit new animations or improvements.

Have to say, this is cool, looks promising, stylish and new animation, components and the UI of site is just cherry on top,proper docs for setup and configuration, just one lacking thing was not so good on mobile version while editing/creating a component, overall very good and nearly best
thank u so much for feedback❤️
Very cool, but it's confusing as to what requires Tailwind, what requires Tailwind augmentation, what can be done with vanilla JS/CSS and what requires Framer-Motion.
Thank you for the feedback! I understand how it can be a bit unclear at first. Let me break it down:
Tailwind CSS: This handles the basic styling and utility classes for rapid UI development. Tailwind by itself can help you create responsive layouts, style components, and add basic hover or focus states, but it doesn't handle more complex animations.
Tailwind Augmentation: This refers to extending Tailwind's functionality with additional plugins or custom configurations. For example, you can add custom animations or transitions that aren't available out of the box.
Vanilla JS/CSS: If you need to create simple animations (like toggling classes on click or basic CSS animations), you can do this with vanilla JS/CSS without needing any additional libraries. This is great for lightweight and straightforward animations.
Framer Motion: This library is used for more complex animations that require advanced control, like smooth transitions between different states, gestures, or animations tied to the React component lifecycle. It's particularly powerful for creating interactive and dynamic UI elements.
This is so cool!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you find it cool.
