In this episode of DejaVue, Michael and Alex chat with Matt Perry, the creator of Motion (formerly Framer Motion), about animations in web development.Matt talks about his journey from designing gaming magazines as a kid to becoming a full-time developer, sharing his experiences with ActionScript, jQuery, and how Motion was born. They discuss how simple and powerful Motion's API is, its ability to work with different frameworks, and how it stacks up against other animation libraries like GSAP and AnimeJS.But the episode also covers a lot of open source aspects, such as the challenges of keeping Motion going! Matt explains how Motion+ funds the development of Motion with one-time payments and time-gated (then publicly available) content, to support the project.Enjoy the episode!Our GuestMatt PerryMotionPersonal WebsiteBlueskyTwitterChapters(00:00) - Welcome to DejaVue
