Hi there! 👋

I'm Italo Almeida, a Brazilian developer living in Porto, Portugal. Founder of Hezzit - where we build software architecture made simple.

I've been coding for 14 years (started at 11 hacking games in VB.NET 😄). My philosophy is simple: KISS and DRY.

Creator of USAL.js - The Ultimate Scroll Animation Library. Lightweight (8KB), powerful, and framework-agnostic. Works with React, Solid, Svelte, Vue, Lit, Angular, and Vanilla JS.

A few highlights:

• USAL.js - 40+ animations, text effects, counters. Zero dependencies, 60fps performance
• Framework-agnostic design - one library, all frameworks
• CDN powered by jsDelivr & Cloudflare
• 8KB gzipped - smaller than competitors while packing more features

Day-to-day I work with SolidJS, Next.js, SvelteKit, TypeScript, Rust, Go, and Python. Always seeking the most performant solution.

Your sponsorship means a lot to me. It will help me:

• Dedicate more time to evolving USAL.js with new features and animations
• Maintain infrastructure (CDN, domains, documentation hosting)
• Create more open-source libraries that solve real problems
• Keep everything free and accessible for the community

Much appreciated! 💖 🙏

💖 Sponsor the ecosystem!

Open-source projects rely on the entire ecosystem. If USAL.js helps you, consider also sponsoring the amazing projects that inspired it: AOS.js, SAL.js, and the frameworks you use daily.

Thanks for making the open-source world an even better place! 💖
