Hey HN,

We’re excited to share Gradienty's CSS Animation Generator designed to make web animations intuitive and accessible for developers and designers at any level. Whether you’re new to CSS animations or a seasoned pro looking to save time, Gradienty equips you with the tools to create beautiful animations with zero coding headaches.

Key Features: 1. 600+ Pre-Built Animations: From subtle hover effects to complex keyframe sequences, all categorized for easy navigation. 2. Visual Editor with Live Preview: See your animations in action as you tweak timing, easing, delay, and iterations. 3. Responsive Design Previews: Test animations across layouts for desktop and mobile compatibility. 4. Multiple Preview Objects: Visualize animations on text, buttons, boxes, circles, and more. 5. One-Click Code Export: Generate production-ready CSS with proper vendor prefixes, ready to drop into your project. 6. Zero-Dependency Animations: Works flawlessly across all modern browsers.

Why We Built This:

As developers, we often found animations to be either overly complex to implement manually or limited by pre-made libraries. Gradienty bridges this gap by offering both flexibility and ease of use, helping you create animations that look and perform great—without sacrificing development time.

Who It’s For:

Beginners: Experiment with animations visually without writing a single line of code. Designers: Focus on creativity while leaving the technical aspects to the generator. Developers: Save time with ready-to-use animations that can be customized and exported instantly.

What’s Next:

We’re working on adding community features like user-created animation libraries, animation presets for specific design systems, and integration guides for popular frameworks.
