Ever seen a beautiful website animation and wondered how on earth the developer built it?
Well, here's a little resource that might save you hours of work.
Meet F*cking Good Libraries, a curated collection of frontend libraries, interactive components, visual effects, and creative coding tools.
And the name is pretty accurate.
The idea is simple: why build everything from scratch when someone has already created a great library for it?
The collection features 78 resources, covering everything from sophisticated UI animations to unusual visual experiments.
Here's what you can find:
Glassmorphism: Frosted glass effects, translucent interfaces, and modern UI components.
Animated charts: Creative data visualizations, diagrams, and interactive graphics.
Page transitions: Smooth navigation effects and cinematic transitions between screens.
Interactive galleries: Animated image grids, hover effects, and dynamic layouts.
Buttons and microinteractions: Beautifully crafted interface details.
Generative visuals: Experimental animations, particle effects, and procedural graphics.
Creative repositories: Open-source projects and demos you can learn from or adapt.
But here's the best part.
You don't even need to know which library you're looking for.
The website includes a natural-language search interface.
Just describe what you're trying to build.
For example:
"I want a beautiful frosted glass effect for my dashboard."
Or:
"Find a library for smooth animated transitions between pages."
You can even write your search in Russian.
The AI-powered discovery system helps you find relevant tools instead of manually browsing dozens of GitHub repositories.
And here's why I particularly like this approach.
We're already using Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and other AI coding agents to build websites and applications.
But sometimes those agents end up reinventing components that already exist.
A custom carousel.
Another animation system.
Yet another complicated button effect.
Why not start with a proven library instead?
Find the right component, give its documentation or GitHub repository to your AI agent, and ask it to integrate the functionality into your existing project.
For example:
"Use this library to add smooth page transitions to my website. Follow the existing design system, keep the animations accessible, and avoid unnecessary dependencies."
That's a much better starting point than asking an AI to build every visual effect from zero.
Of course, not every library will fit your framework or project requirements. Check the license, dependencies, maintenance status, and performance before integrating it.
But that's precisely what makes a well-curated resource collection valuable.
Less time searching.
Less time rebuilding existing solutions.
More time actually creating interesting things.
And honestly, I'm a big fan of anything that makes AI-generated websites look a little less like every other AI-generated website.
Because the future of creative coding shouldn't be about writing more code than necessary.
It should be about building better experiences.
And sometimes the smartest thing a developer can do is use something that already works.
