## What it is
snabbt.js is a minimalistic JavaScript animation library (~5kb) that animates DOM elements using CSS3 transforms and opacity for fast 60 FPS performance. It supports translation, rotation, scaling, skewing, and chained/sequenced animations via matrix operations.

## Use cases
- animate dom elements with css transforms
- create smooth 60fps web animations
- chain and sequence element animations
- build card formation or periodic table style demos
- lightweight alternative to heavy animation frameworks

## When to choose
- you need fast, lightweight transform/opacity-only animations
- you want a tiny ~5kb library with no dependencies
- you target modern browsers including IE10+

## When to avoid
- you need to animate colors, padding, margins, or other non-transform properties
- you need active maintenance or modern browser feature support
- you need IE9 or older support

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: animation
