Hey r/FigmaDesign,
I'm Talha. I just launched FigAnimations, a free library of ready-to-use Figma animations.
A bit of backstory on why I built this:
I'm a developer. Designers would share designs with me, but I wouldn't always get what they expected me to build. Static mockups can show what a button looks like, but not how it feels when it's tapped, what happens when a toast appears, or how a tab bar transitions. The only real way to convey that is through prototyping.
But manual prototyping in Figma is time-consuming. Hours wiring up the same patterns over and over (hover states, modal transitions, form interactions, navigations). And on the next project, you do it all again from scratch.
So I started building a curated library of Figma animations, organized by category. You copy them into your file and customize from there. No plugin, no signup, no paywall.
What's in there right now:
- Navigations
- Toast notifications
- Form element interactions
- Tab bar transitions
What I'm thinking about next:
- More categories (mobile gestures, micro-interactions, loading states)
- A full design system where every component has its own animations and prototypes
- Possibly a community submission flow so designers can contribute their own
I'd genuinely love feedback from this sub:
- What animations are missing for you?
- Would you actually use a free library like this, or is "find → copy → customize" still too much friction?
- Anyone here built something for the Figma ecosystem before? Curious how you grew it.
Thanks for reading.
