Beautiful interfaces need beautiful animations. Today we’re adding a new layer to Kaida: a collection of ready-to-use effects, microinteractions, animations, gradients, and 3D experiences designed to help designers and developers ship better products faster.
If Kaida Components gives you the building blocks, Kaida Effects gives them (and the rest of your UI) motion: shine, tilt, wavy backgrounds, gradients, 3D transforms, and many more, all copy-pasteable and yours to keep.
The key technical differentiator
Most animation libraries are built around React + animation library (GSAP, Framer Motion, Anime.js, etc).
Kaida Effects takes a bit different approach:
- Framework-agnostic. Works identically in React, Vue, Angular, Rails, Laravel, and plain HTML + JS.
- Modular. Import only the effects you use.
- Performance matters. Every effect is optimized to look great while running smoothly, ready for production use.
- You own the code. Effects are copied directly into your project.
- LLM-friendly. Try to explore, remix, and adapt in AI tools.
You can drop the same shine or tilt effect into a Rails ERB template, a Vue SFC, or a static HTML page.
Kaida offers components, design system and landing-page blocks, and we're now expanding it with a collection of effects.
Possible use cases
- Marketing pages. Make animated gradient backgrounds behind headlines, shine effects, and more
- Any framework app. Use effects across Rails, Vue, and other stacks.
- SaaS apps. Animate various UI states.
