Animaxxing

The Animaxxing homepage, Motion to the Maxx

I made a crazy demo to show off the GSAP agent skills I've been iterating on. It got a little out of hand.

Check it out at animaxxing.com.

It's powered by GSAP and inspired by the old glory days of Flash. It's over the top. On purpose. It's just to have fun and show what is possible.

The Showcase has animaxxed versions of sites you know, like Wikipedia, Craigslist, Hacker News, Etsy, YouTube and Reddit.

Craigslist, animaxxed

Is it an example of how you should build your web app? Probably not. But the idea of intro, ambient, outro is solid. It's about telling a story, or establishing a feeling.

The site is built with the skills, and the skills are open source on Github. There's a framework skill for Next.js, Astro, SvelteKit, Nuxt, React Router, TanStack Router and plain JavaScript, plus aesthetic-animaxxing for the whole Animaxxing look. Install them along with the official GSAP skills:

Then tell your agent "We need to aniMAXX!" The animaxx page has more prompts to try.
