<p>KineticHub is a lightweight suite of animated Gutenberg blocks for designers, agencies, developers, and site builders who want to add motion, media, and interactive UI effects to WordPress pages without leaving the block editor.</p>
<p>The plugin includes visual blocks for animated typography, video modals, audio players, before-and-after image comparisons, marquees, interactive buttons, hero backgrounds, scroll dividers, split scroll layouts, cursor reveal lists, ambient visuals, and motion-ready containers.</p>
<p>KineticHub is designed for modern WordPress workflows. Blocks can be inserted, configured, and reused directly inside the editor, while frontend assets are loaded through WordPress block asset registration.</p>

<ul>
<li>Animated landing page sections</li>
<li>Portfolio and agency pages</li>
<li>Interactive hero areas</li>

<p>KineticHub includes 12 Gutenberg blocks. The full block list is available in the Blocks section below.</p>
<h4>Performance Focused</h4>
<p>KineticHub is designed to avoid unnecessary page weight and unnecessary frontend execution.</p>
<ul>
<li>Block assets are loaded through WordPress block asset registration.</li>
<li>Shared runtime behavior is handled by lightweight frontend assets.</li>
<li>Video embeds are initialized lazily after user interaction where supported by the block setup.</li>
<li>Motion-heavy effects respect reduced-motion preferences.</li>
<li>Global motion settings can be configured from the KineticHub dashboard.</li>
<li>Blocks are designed to work with modern WordPress themes and performance optimization tools.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Accessibility</h4>
<p>KineticHub includes accessibility-oriented behavior across supported blocks.</p>
<ul>
<li>Reduced-motion support for users who prefer less animation.</li>
<li>Keyboard focus handling where interactive controls are used.</li>
<li>Screen-reader friendly fallback text for animated typography.</li>
<li>ARIA labels for video modal controls.</li>
<li>Semantic output and escaped server-side rendering.</li>
<li>Interactive blocks are designed to remain usable without relying only on motion.</li>
</ul>
<h4>External Services</h4>
<p>The plugin does not connect to external services on activation.</p>
<p>Some blocks may load third-party media only when a site administrator configures content that uses those providers. For example, the Kinetic Video Modal block can embed videos from YouTube or Vimeo when a YouTube or Vimeo URL is entered by the site administrator.</p>
<p>Third-party services may receive visitor data when embedded media is loaded by the browser. This depends on the configured media URL, the provider used, and the visitor’s browser behavior.</p>
<p>Supported optional video providers include:</p>
<ul>
<li>YouTube</li>
<li>YouTube NoCookie</li>
<li>Vimeo</li>
</ul>
<p>Self-hosted media files can also be used.</p>
<p>Provider endpoints that may be used when configured by the site administrator:</p>
<ul>
<li>YouTube video embeds: https://www.youtube.com/</li>
<li>YouTube privacy-enhanced embeds: https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/</li>
<li>YouTube thumbnail images: https://img.youtube.com/</li>
<li>Vimeo video embeds: https://player.vimeo.com/</li>
</ul>
<p>Provider policies:</p>
<ul>
<li>YouTube Terms of Service: https://www.youtube.com/t/terms</li>
<li>YouTube Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy</li>
<li>Vimeo Terms of Service: https://vimeo.com/terms</li>

<p>Animicro lets you add high-end animations (Awwwards-style) with minimal performance impact. Enable modules in the panel, apply classes like <code>.am-fade</code>, <code>.am-scale</code>, or <code>.am-slide-up</code> in your Page Builder, and you’re done.</p>
<p><strong>Philosophy</strong>: Utility-first. No complex interfaces, no timelines. Just classes and <code>data-am-*</code> attributes.</p>
<h4>Free modules</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Fade</strong> (<code>.am-fade</code>) — Smooth appearance with opacity</li>
<li><strong>Scale</strong> (<code>.am-scale</code>) — Scales from small to full size</li>
<li><strong>Slide Up</strong> (<code>.am-slide-up</code>) — Slides up when appearing</li>
<li><strong>Slide Down</strong> (<code>.am-slide-down</code>) — Slides down when appearing</li>
<li><strong>Slide Left</strong> (<code>.am-slide-left</code>) — Slides in toward the left (from the right edge)</li>
<li><strong>Slide Right</strong> (<code>.am-slide-right</code>) — Slides in toward the right (from the left edge)</li>
<li><strong>Skew Up</strong> (<code>.am-skew-up</code>) — Slides up with a slight skew that straightens as it stops (Stripe / Vercel-style)</li>
<li><strong>Float</strong> (<code>.am-float</code>) — Infinite soft up/down floating motion (continuous)</li>
<li><strong>Pulse</strong> (<code>.am-pulse</code>) — Infinite gentle scale pulse — breathing-like (continuous)</li>
<li><strong>Highlight</strong> (<code>.am-highlight</code>) — Animated marker highlight behind text on entry</li>
<li><strong>Typewriter</strong> (<code>.am-typewriter</code>) — Types text character by character with a blinking cursor</li>
<li><strong>Zoom Hover</strong> (<code>.am-hover-zoom</code>) — Image scales up smoothly on hover (parent needs <code>overflow: hidden</code>)</li>
</ul>
<p>Each module has its own settings panel with live preview so you can tune duration, easing, delay, and activation margin without leaving the admin.</p>
<h4>Pro modules (available with Animicro Pro)</h4>
<p>Blur, Stagger, Grid Reveal, Text Fill on Scroll, Parallax, Image Parallax (window effect), Split Text, and Text Reveal. Plus Smooth Scroll and a Cheat Sheet reference panel. Learn more at <a href="https://animicro.com" rel="nofollow ugc">animicro.com</a>.</p>
<h4>Builder compatibility</h4>
<p>Works with Elementor, Bricks, Breakdance, Oxygen, Divi, and Gutenberg. Dynamic inline CSS adapts per builder so elements stay visible inside editors and animations only run on the live frontend.</p>
<h4>Advanced</h4>
<p>Under <strong>Animicro <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Advanced</strong> you can enable <strong>Respect Reduced Motion</strong> (skips JS-driven animations when the visitor prefers reduced motion) and <strong>Debug Mode</strong> (outlines <code>.am-*</code> elements and logs script timing in the browser console).</p>
<h3>External Services</h3>
<p>This plugin does not connect to any external services. All animation logic runs<br />
locally in the visitor’s browser using JavaScript bundled with the plugin.</p>
<p>No data is collected, transmitted, or stored outside your WordPress installation.</p>
<h3>Source Code</h3>
<p>This plugin includes compiled JavaScript and CSS built with Vite from React (admin panel) and vanilla JS (frontend animations). The full, uncompressed source code is available at:</p>
<p>https://github.com/infojorgeml/animicro</p>
