About

How Fancy Animations started

Hi, I’m John Diaz, the founder. I had the idea and wrote the base code, and in October 2023 Joshua Gugun Siagian turned it into the first plugin: Bricks Builder animations you added with class names. Some of you found that hard, and every release since has made it simpler.
