About
MotionFlow is a free, lightweight JavaScript library for modern web motion — scroll animations, parallax, text effects, counters, and tickers using simple HTML attributes.
Features
- Problem
- Elements need visual entrances as visitors scroll.
- How it works
- Triggers fade, slide, zoom, flip, and other animations as elements enter the viewport; supports timing, easing, triggers, repeat behavior, and staggered groups.
- Result
- Developers can create coordinated scroll reveals with less setup.
- Why
- HTML attributes configure motion without per-element JavaScript.
- Problem
- Static layouts can lack depth and movement.
- How it works
- Moves elements at configurable speeds in response to scrolling, with responsive settings and staggered groups.
- Result
- Layouts gain layered motion that adapts to screen sizes.
- Why
- Attribute-based controls make parallax adjustable per element or group.
- Problem
- Headlines and key phrases can benefit from changing or character-level motion.
- How it works
- Cycles through text items with loop effects or types and deletes phrases character by character.
- Result
- Headings and callouts can present changing messages without custom animation setup.
- Why
- Built-in modes run automatically and expose controls through HTML attributes.
- Problem
- Static metrics can be less engaging when highlighted on a page.
- How it works
- Animates numbers on viewport entry with smooth counters or digit-by-digit rollers; counters also support decimals, negative values, and formatted numbers.
- Result
- Stats and numeric highlights transition into view with controlled motion.
- Why
- Start values, timing, and scroll triggers can be specified in HTML.
- Problem
- Text or image strips may need continuous movement without visible gaps.
- How it works
- Creates looping horizontal or vertical tickers with configurable direction and speed, plus optional hover pausing.
- Result
- Announcements, logos, and other content can scroll continuously.
- Why
- Ticker behavior can be configured with attributes, without manual initialization.
- Problem
- Motion libraries can introduce framework lock-in or dependency overhead.
- How it works
- Provides a unified, dependency-free vanilla JavaScript library that can be included manually, by CDN, or through npm/yarn.
- Result
- Developers can add motion across different project setups without framework-specific adapters.
- Why
- The same HTML attributes work across plain HTML, WordPress, and frameworks that render markup.
