🌏✨ 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...

Cleaner layout
Live component previews
Better docs
Clear value from the first scroll

We just updated the docs! πŸš€

Hey everyone
We ve just pushed a fresh update to the Blockies Animate documentation!
Now it s way easier to understand how each animation works, with clear examples and faster setup.

We're also working hard behind the scenes to bring new installation options including CLI so you can integrate Blockies Animate however it fits your flow

Check out the new docs: Blockies Animate

We re building this with and for you, so your feedback means everything.
Let us know what you think, what s missing, or what would make it better for you.

We’ve been quiet... but for a good reason πŸ‘€πŸš§

Hey everyone!

We ve been a bit quiet lately not because we stopped building, but because we ve been heads down working on big updates for Blockies Animate

From better docs to smoother onboarding and more animation components, we re leveling things up to make your dev experience even better.

We made it to the Top 10! πŸš€

Thank you so much to everyone who supported Blockies Animate on launch day we made it to the Product Hunt Top 10!
This means a lot to us as a small indie team crafting tools with care for fellow developers. Your votes, comments, and support fuel our journey every day
We re just getting started more animations, polish, and surprises on the way
Let s build something amazing together!
