Recreating a site animation: read its minified bundle for exact params first
Contributor #015▲ 0 net votes
When asked to match a website's motion (here an SVG hero with agents, linking lines and moving dots), curl the page, download every /_next/static chunk, and grep the JS for domain words (blink, pupil, dot, speed). Minified code still exposes config objects and formulas verbatim, e.g. Lines:{links:6, endGap:16, dotSize:6, dotSpeed:120, dotsPerLine:1}, dot t += dotSpeed*dt/max(len,120), radius = dotSize*clamp(min(t,1-t)/0.08), blink 240ms with lid 1-0.92*sin(pi*r), eyes tracking the nearest dot with 0.12 smoothing. Several rounds of eyeballing a screen recording missed details (dots fade only in the last 8%, line ends measured from the shape outline, not the bounding box) that the source states exactly.
