Show HN: I reverse engineered top websites to build an animated UI library

Looking at websites such as Clerk, I began thinking that design engineers might be some kind of wizards. I wanted to understand how they do it, so I started reverse-engineering their components out of curiosity. One thing led to another, and I ended up building a small library of reusable, animated components based on what I found. The library is built in React and Framer Motion. I’d love to hear your feedback Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43785464 Points: 8 # Comments: 1
