About

Hello! I'm Matt Perry, creator of Motion.

I've been writing animation libraries for over a decade. You could call it a problem, but I'm enjoying myself 😅

I started writing my own animation libraries back in 2014 because I was unsatisfied with the feeling of the UIs I could create with CSS alone.

For lack of a better word, they felt "webby", or a little janky.

CSS and native browser JavaScript APIs were really limited back then. So I was determined to make my first library, Popmotion, one where anything was possible.

From there, I joined Framer to make Framer Motion. With Framer Motion, I concentrated on the simplicity of the API, while retaining Popmotion's limitless possibilities.

Since then, browser APIs have come a long way, with new advances like the Web Animations API and Intersection Observer.

Now, with Motion, I'm making an API that packages all the power and performance of these native browser animations into a user-friendly library, while also adding the superpowers of Framer Motion.

Let me know what you make!
