🌏✨ Blockies Animate is expanding

What started as a small indie project is now crossing borders. We re excited to share that
Blockies Animate is expanding its reach to China .

Animations are a universal language, and we believe every developer should have access to tools that make building smoother, faster, and more fun.

This is just the beginning, Cuby is ready to dance on every corner of the world

React animations are harder than they should be... what’s your take?

I've been working on a small project called Blockies Animate, trying to make UI animations in React a bit less painful, and in the process, I realized how tricky even "simple" animations can get.

From over-engineered libraries to CSS that breaks layouts, sometimes it feels like you need a PhD just to fade in a div

So I m genuinely curious:

  • What s been your biggest frustration when adding animations to your app?

  • What tools or tricks (if any) have made it easier for you?

  • Do you still add motion to your UI or skip it to keep things moving?

We just dropped it. πŸ‘€

After weeks of work (and a lot of coffee ), we ve launched our new landing page for Blockies Animate!

The goal?

To make it 10x easier to understand what Blockies Animate is, what you can build with it, and how to get started, fast...
