Famous Engine – JavaScript library for animations and interfaces (famous.org)

Most missing chars seem to be capitalized. A few specifics: F, H, B, P, X

I know MrDoob was inspired to duplicate the Famo'us periodic table demo in Three.js/CSS and in the other direction, well its goddam MrDoob, you can't work in web graphics and not be inspired by him.

Three.js can make far better looking results currently because it's a full-fledged, mature 3D engine. Famous isn't designed to compete with that. It's really intended to sort of merge DOM and 3D content so you can use both in a unified manner.

Also, trashing someone else's product while plugging your own in the same breath is simply poor taste.

Also are you limiting your framerate (not framework, sorry) to something reasonable?

Also I recommend not creating too many objects to be GC'ed.

Years ago I added a 'snow' animation JS libary to a custom website which let little snow flakes drop during winter time. All just for fun. It turned out to be fun only for a few days until I got the first complaints about users not being able to use their computers anymore and mobile devices being barely able to scroll anything.

I also believe that there must be a better way for simple animations.

    @keyframes spin {
      0% { transform: scaleX(1); }
      50% { transform: scaleX(-1); }
      100% { transform: scaleX(1); }
    }
    .spin {
      animation: spin ease-in-out 6s infinite;
    }

The only satisfactory way to do web animation I've found is to do it 100% in css by toggling classes. As soon as the JS interpreter gets involved in any way, things go south.

For example:

- World Cup App Spotlight[2]

- InkaBinka[3] (Only the mobile apps?)

* "famous project deploy" deploys your application to hub. It gives you a snippet that can be used in order to embed your widget on a website.

* "famous dev" starts the development server.

Deploying your widget requires an account, did you register via `famous register`?

That being said it should have given you an error message if that's the issue. I can't seem to be able to reproduce this.

Can you file an issue on https://github.com/Famous/famous-cli or post the platform + node/ io.js version you're on here?

Thanks.

Does this mean I'll get accepted to YC ? (cue Eddie Murphy laugh)

The Famous team is working on a framework that will interface with their core engine, making things far cleaner at the application level while facilitating less painful integration. Comparing that to various client-side frameworks will definitely make sense.

0.3 was doing a lot of unnecessary matrix multiplications on a frame by frame basis. It also produced a lot of garbage, resulting into a frame drop every time the GC ran.

Famous Engine produces basically no garbage at all. It has an event based system for updating transforms.

I apologize for your bad experience with "old" famous, but please keep in mind that we started from scratch.

Now its popping up again. Time to take it for another run. The problem in the past was a small/inactive/detached community imo, if there was an active community behind it, it would be amazing.

Also, the famo.us devs seem to expect a lot of community stuff to be happening in or around their offices, which is unfair to us overseas guys who can't go to a famo.us demo day in their office.

Maybe they should change the name to Famo Engine.
