Creating an open source library isn’t just for expert developers.

I was always a fan of CSS Libraries such as Bootstrap and Materialize. I grew to have an even greater appreciation for CSS Animation Libraries like Animate.css. In my early days as a frontend developer I would sometimes use up to three different animation libraries at the same time.

I always knew I wanted to create my own someday, and that’s exactly what I did.

Introducing Woah.css

Woah.css is an Animation Library for eccentric developers

One thing I’ve noticed about my life is that every time I took up a great opportunity that lead to a life changing experience, I was always a little bit not ready. The Creation of woah.css is no exception to this.

In fact, I had never made an animation in CSS before starting this project. The first animation I’ve ever made is on woah.css. It’s called comeInStyle and it’s still one of my favorites.

The creation of woah.css has taught me something important:

The hardest thing about every project is starting.

At first glance it seems a little pedantic and obvious. For me, the only thing that kept me from creating an open source library was the assumption that I wasn’t ready yet.

I decided to dive straight in and see how it goes. I learned as I went. The results were better than I ever expected!
