- Supports multiple frameworks
- Zero dependency (every framework is!)
- Written in typescript
- The size of the core code is only 3kb after gzip compression
- If the element is not on the screen, it will automatically stop watching

Note
- When watching
inputortextarea, thetext-alignattribute must beleft - Some inline elements ignore the
transformattribute (let's sayspan), so you have to give them thedisplayattribute to work properly. (see: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24961795/how-can-i-use-css3-transform-on-a-span) - You may need something like
transition: transform .1sdepending on your needs
