LESS animation library (opens in new tab)

The CSS preprocessor that lost the popularity race to Sass.

Why do people use "I stopped reading after..."?

The only thing this accomplishes in my mind is to apparently show you have a closed mind, which is not a piece of information that really interests me. What does this add to the discussion? If you don't agree with something then ignore it, or downvote it or even better, give a constructive criticism.

If you took that introduction so deeply personally that you stopped reading out of offense, I think you have deeper issues to deal with than the fact that you're not taking advantage of this open source library. This is very much your issue, not the author who has just built a library and then organized documentation just to offer it all for free. I believe he should include whatever sense of humor he wishes.

I really hope that open source authors continue to include their character in their projects. It makes the world a more interesting place.

You're probably not the target market then. The author just saved you some time.

I really hope every silly .io site doesn't start having half their page bouncing up and down now...

It's a joke.

Tongue in cheek, self referential and self deprecating with a dash of realism.

Made me chuckle.

It is self-deprecating (as another commenter said), but what might not be obvious is why there is a need for some defensive self-deprecation.

In some web development circles Bootstrap has become a divisive topic. Statements like "You have no business being a programmer if you use Bootstrap", "Bootstrap is ruining the web" and "You shouldn't use web design and Bootstrap in the same sentence" are fairly common.

In that light, the 'web hipster...' statement is more a means of fending off criticism than anything else.

I figured Hacker News and Github were full of intelligent people, but I may be wrong.

A web hipster has no definition. But you could put two and two together to realize, a web hipster uses Bootstrap because it's the most popular front-end framework. And anyone who uses it "like a whore", means you've gotten messy with its insides.

I have one of my own: https://github.com/ianstormtaylor/animate.sass

With a couple of changes that I think make the library easier to use, and added a few animations.

99% of the tips at that URL don't apply to the OP's animations.
