## What it is
A lightweight, dependency-free vanilla JavaScript library that adds smooth 3D tilt effects to DOM elements on hover or device orientation. It is a fork of the jQuery-based Tilt.js, offering configurable perspective, glare, scale, gyroscope support, and data-attribute or JS initialization.

## Use cases
- add a 3D tilt effect to cards on hover
- create parallax glare effects on landing page elements
- make images tilt based on mouse movement without jQuery
- enable tilt effects on mobile via gyroscope/device orientation
- animate UI cards with smooth 60FPS tilt transitions

## When to choose
- you want a tiny (~8.5kb min) dependency-free tilt effect in vanilla JS
- you need configurable tilt with glare, scale, and gyroscope support
- you want a simple data-attribute setup like data-tilt

## When to avoid
- you need a full animation framework like GSAP
- your project already uses jQuery and you prefer the original tilt.js
- you need effects beyond tilt/parallax such as scroll animations

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: animation, ui-components
- domain: web-development, frontend, web-design
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: tilt-effect, vanilla-javascript, 3d-tilt, parallax, no-dependencies, hover-effects
