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

I wanted to understand how they do it, so I started reverse-engineering their components out of curiosity.

I’d love to hear your feedback

This feedback loop is driving breakthroughs in both fields—and forcing them to reconsider what thinking truly means. My 10-year-old son says that thinking is
