In 2025, the library underwent its most significant transformation ever: a ground-up rewrite to version 4 (v4) that replaced the monolithic <code>anime()</code> function with a modular, ESM-first API. With over 58,000 GitHub stars and an active npm release stream reaching v4.3.6 by early 2026, Anime.js has proven that a well-designed animation library can thrive in an era of CSS animations and WAAPI.</p> <p>Version 4 is not merely an incremental update. It is a philosophical shift: instead of one function that does everything, v4 ships discrete, tree-shakeable modules that you import by name. The core <code>animate()</code> function replaces the old <code>anime()</code>. Parameters have been renamed (the <code>value</code> property is now <code>to</code>, <code>easing</code> is now <code>ease</code>), and entirely new systems have been added &ndash; spring physics via <code>createSpring</code>, draggable interactions, SVG motion paths, text splitting, and a WAAPI integration weighing only 3 KB. The result is a library that feels both familiar and radically more capable, capable of driving 60 frames per second across 3,000 DOM elements while fitting into modern build pipelines without bloat.</p>https://www.solosoft.dev/post/minimax-ai-skills-2026/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://www.solosoft.dev/post/minimax-ai-skills-2026/<p>AI coding agents like Claude Code and Cursor have become indispensable tools for modern software development. But their out-of-the-box behavior is generic &ndash; they need structured guidance to produce code that follows your project&rsquo;s patterns, style, and conventions. <strong>MiniMax Skills</strong> addresses this by providing a curated collection of production-grade development skills that can be injected into any AI coding agent.</p> <p>Published by MiniMax-AI, the repository at <a href="https://github.com/MiniMax-AI/skills">github.com/MiniMax-AI/skills</a> contains dozens of reusable skill definitions covering everything from React component architecture to Metal shader programming to automated document generation. Each skill is a structured Markdown instruction set that teaches an AI coding agent how to approach a specific development task with production-quality standards.</p>
