Blockies Animate is a lightweight React library with plug-and-play animation components. Add smooth, customizable motion to your UI in seconds — no setup hassle, fully responsive, and built for performance.
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?
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.
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...

Hey there! Just tried out Blockies Animate for Tailwind CSS, and I gotta say, it's a game-changer! Super easy to use. just copy and paste the code. The animations are not only simple to implement but also look stunning.
Reaalllyyy good!! Drag it, drop it, done! Just like that, you’ve got it animated!!! Plus, their animations look super crisp!
Really proud of what we’re building with Blockies Animate. ❤️ This is just the beginning — we’re here for the long game. 🚀

Upvoted. Very nice but docs need to be more clear: how do we install it? FIRST. Best!

Thanks so much for the feedback and the upvote! 🙌
You're totally right, we’re already working on improving the docs to make the installation process super clear. Really appreciate you pointing it out!
Blockies Animate sounds like a fantastic solution for React developers who want to add animations with minimal effort! Can these animations be customized beyond the preset options, like adjusting speed or easing functions, or is it primarily plug-and-play with minimal customization?

Thanks so much! 🙌 Blockies Animate is built to be super easy to use but also flexible.
By default, it’s plug-and-play, just drop in and go.
But yes, you can customize things like speed, delay, easing, and when animations trigger, all with simple props.
We’re constantly improving things to keep that balance between simplicity and control. Let us know what you'd like to see!

That's right! Every animation is designed to be quick to use and highly customizable through props, so you don’t need to make many internal changes to the component. Of course, if you prefer to customize it your own way, you absolutely can, but the idea was to make it as flexible as possible right out of the box.
