## Description

snabbt.js is a JavaScript motion framework and CSS transform animation library used to create high-performance animations for DOM elements. It functions as a 3D CSS animation engine and a matrix-based geometry toolkit for calculating precise translations, rotations, scales, and skews.

The framework provides a user-driven animation controller that allows animation progress to be tied to manual user input rather than standard time-based playback. It enables the simulation of depth and perspective by animating HTML elements into three-dimensional shapes.

The system covers motion orchestration through sequenced animation chaining and batch element processing. It includes capabilities for physics-based easing, character-level text animations, and the configuration of transform origins to manipulate element geometry.
