Glad you found my work

Hiroshige's woodblock print of a windswept river crossing at Yokkaichi

Not gonna lie, I didn't plan to build a library.

I just wanted a playground. Somewhere to recreate animations I kept seeing on X, poke at products I loved, and rebuild little pieces of them just to see if I could.

So I built one. Dropped the pieces in. Figured a few people might poke around and tell me what sucked.

Then I posted a couple of components on X. One of them, the Collins Carousel, had lots of impressions.

Someone even asked where to grab it. I wasn't even expecting that.

That made this feel less like my thing and more like something worth actually building out, something other people could use.

So here we are. What started as a playground for myself is turning into a component library you can use in your own projects.

Not just poke around in it. Actually ship with it.

If you've been rocking with this, a follow on X means a lot.

with love, Solomon :)
