Visit our website at anojs.com!

Ano.js is a free, open source web animation library that makes creating beautiful designs a whole lot easier. Ano.js is designed in the interest of simplifying the process of creating and integrating web animations into your website.

Why use Ano.js?

Ano.js was designed to be simple. Our team develops and formats the animations, so the user can use it in their website just by copy-pasting two lines of code! Instead of Anime.js and Mo.js where you have to code and create the animation yourself, we just did it for you!

What do Ano.js contributors do?

  • Create new web animations with new technology
  • Get guidance and mentorship from fellow contributors
  • Deploy web animations for real Ano.js users to use

Why should I contribute?

All animations that you create give you recognition. The more contributions you make, the higher you will be ranked on the Ano.js team page. Each animation you create will have your name next to it, we track how many people use your animations, and the more active you are the higher chance it is for you to be contacted for a staff position at Ano.js.

All of the work you do here is up to you. There are absolutely no time or effort commitments being a contributor. You can do as much or as little as you want as a contributor. But, more active contributors get to reap the rewards of being active.

We try to make your job as easy as possible. There are a lot of rules to follow when formatting animations for open use. Instead of you doing it, we've taken the responsibility of formatting your animations for you. You worry about making the animations, and we'll take care of the rest.
