The vast majority of those are useless animations. Some are even a much worse implementation of something done much simpler with JS and requires significantly more code weighing down the page speed. Some examples of this are the cursor tracking examples which use hundreds of divs in a grid.

While there are some useful examples, it seems like this repo is more of a list of to show off advanced CSS, fancy animations, and designs.

Yeah, those are mostly showing off. They're not really what I'm getting at, either. I more want to challenge people to make useful things simply.

And yes, there are ways that JavaScript can be used to give users a faster and more streamlined experience. The web as it stands is so far past that justification. I swear there's lots of "full stack" devs that haven't a clue how to make a site without React.

Hell, there's way too many "full stack" developers that don't even know how domains work.
