  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • GreenSock-JS

    GSAP (GreenSock Animation Platform), a JavaScript animation library for the modern web

  • My initial thought was GSAP - https://greensock.com/ ,

  • three.js

    JavaScript 3D Library.

  • If you are ever interested in a solution that gives you a visual editor, I invite you to have a look at Polygonjs. It is a node-based editor, so you get a lot of control. It is based on threejs and gsap so you wouldn't necessarily have to learn those.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.
