Wow, I'm surprised mojs-player and mojs-curve-editor aren't right at the top of the README and the website. Those are awesome tools!

The best part is they don't try to do too much. Since you invoke them via code, not some all-in-one editor, that makes it much easier to go back to your code when you're done. I feel like that transition is most of the problem when dealing with other tooling (see Photoshop's "copy layer style as CSS").

Thanks! They were designed to make only one isolated thing and be "debugging" tools instead of creating the entirely new environment as you can get in most animation tools.

So the idea was: you have your page -> you add debugging tools -> craft your animations -> remove the tools and animation still there.

Also, since project's resources are limited - we had to make those simple tools and then connect them to something more matured like https://github.com/legomushroom/mojs-timeline-editor (which is in the process right now). This way we are able to release MVP early and get feedback early while constantly improving the tools.
