Oki first off... I wasn't expecting an answer so quick ? Went to sleep tired and broken. This forum is quite the lifesaver.
Second, thanks @akapowl for the demo and the explanation. Absolute legend. This clears out a lot of stuff for newcomers. I'm glad I chose GSAP!
Since I'm having fun with Locomotive so far, I'll keep going at it until I find a breaker.
I've incorporated your explanation and demo into the landing site I'm building for my startup... and it looks beautiful!
Nextjs + GSAP + Locomotive + Magnetic Mouse + Grained.js ---------> https://landing-grayhat.vercel.app
Still under development and needs optimization (lags a bit). Will stay up-to-date with the forum to resolve that
