About Animate On Scroll (AOS)
Animate on scroll library. In order to make it work, you'll have to make sure your build process has configured styles loader and bundles it all correctly. If you're using Parcel, however, it will work out of the box as provided. AOS object is exposed as a global variable, for now, there are three methods available. Initialize AOS, recalculate all offsets and positions of elements (called on window resize), reinitiate the array with AOS elements, and trigger refresh (called on DOM changes that are related to AOS elements). By default, AOS is watching for DOM changes and if there are any new elements loaded asynchronously or when something is removed from DOM it calls refreshHard automatically. In browsers that don't support MutationObserver like IE, you might need to call it by yourself. You can also tell AOS to trigger a custom event on a specific element. You can also add custom animations.

Three.js
Three.js is a JavaScript 3D library. The aim of the project is to create an easy-to-use, lightweight, cross-browser, general-purpose 3D library. The current builds only include a WebGL renderer but WebGPU (experimental), SVG and CSS3D renderers are also available in the examples. To actually be able to display anything with three.js, we need three things, scene, camera, and renderer, so that we can render the scene with the camera. In addition to the WebGLRenderer, Three.js comes with a few others, often used as fallbacks for users with older browsers or for those who don't have WebGL support for some reason. Create a loop that causes the renderer to draw the scene every time the screen is refreshed (on a typical screen this means 60 times per second). Anything you want to move or change while the app is running has to go through the animate loop. You can of course call other functions from there.

Choreographer-js
A simple library to take care of complicated animations. You can also add custom functions that do non-CSS animations! Install and save to your package.json, and include it in your Javascript. Brew up some instant scroll animations. Animate based on scroll location, animate based on mouse X location and create multiple animations based on mouse X location. Now you can create an instance of Choreographer, and run the animations based on whatever measurement floats your boat (ex. scroll position, mouse position, timestamp, whatever). The easiest way to understand how this all works is to check out the examples. Bugs will occur if you overlap animation ranges that affect the same style properties! There are two built-in animation functions available, called 'scale' and 'change'. Progress is what allows for progressive scaling of values (ex. smooth fading of opacity, 2d translation, etc.) If the value is between 0 and 1, that means you are within a range.
