Theatre.js

Theatre.js is a modern JavaScript library built for animating elements on the web. It can animate the DOM, WebGL, and anything else you can access with JavaScript variables.

Punchlist

Punchlist is a great option for gathering opinions and collecting stakeholders’ sign-off. It creates an annotation layer over your webpage that is only visible to those you invite. Any comments or instructions can then be collected and sent to Trello, Asana, GitHub, Jira, and more. There’s a generous free forever plan perfect for freelancers.
