  • Wonderful and simple

    this is a great plugin for adding subtle effects to your site without the bloat of a whole GSAP/greenshift package with a million options. great for subtle effects when page loads (or just after with a delay). will def use for adding subtle movement to client sites. every plugin this developer does works well and simple with core blocks. pay attention to his stuff! we need more like it. simple/elegant solutions for the block and site editor
