Good for a lazy building, no need to drown in js + css & it is still lightweight.

I’ve been using this fabulous plugin on several projects and multiple FSE themes.In more then one year I had hardly no issues with this plugin.Based solely on CSS animations, does not load heavy JavaScript libraries or perform processing on the server, but adds simple CSS classes and transition effects. It’s lightning-fast! Just refrain from adding too many animations at once: which would deteriorate the user experience and inevitably slow down the browser… Great in header animations, logo animation and much more, specially when combined with “sticky” position function which is native on FSE.It’s saving me from writing lots of custom CSS lines and related bug fixes.Great job! Long life to Blocks Animation!
