The core of the library is to divide our HTML into frames, or space-frames as we call them her (to not conflict the common class name “frame”).
2. Dom Animator
Dom Animator is a nifty JavaScript library, used to show small ascii animations within comments in your dom. It’s a little easter egg for anyone inspecting your code. Nothing more, nothing less. It is a stand alone library (no jQuery, or the likes) so usage is pretty straight forward. You won’t need any CSS, or HTML… just JavaScript. (since the animations live in comment nodes, in the dom, only).
