PARTLY

Partly true: two of the '3 crazy websites' are what the reel says (a browser snooker sim and a free AI prompt gallery) but the first is Anime.js, a JavaScript animation library, not a copy-paste UI element library

Facebook · Oct 2026

The claim'3 websites creators and developers will love.' One: 'ready-made UI elements for websites like buttons, animations and more. Simply copy the code.' Two: 'play a realistic snooker game in your browser.' Three: 'tons of image and video prompts. Simply copy any prompt and create similar content.' Sites on screen: animejs.com, snookersim.com, meigen.ai.

Three sites are shown on screen and all three exist, but the first one is misdescribed. The reel calls animejs.com a place for 'ready-made UI elements like buttons, animations and more' that you 'simply copy.' Anime.js is a JavaScript animation library (MIT license, about 73,000 GitHub stars, v4.5.0 released June 22, 2026). Its docs page, which the reel scrolls through, has CSS-variable and layout code examples, not a gallery of buttons to paste into a page. A non-developer who goes there expecting a UI kit will find an API reference. The second site, snookersim.com, is exactly as described: a 3D snooker simulator in the browser with aim, power, spin, cue elevation, live multiplayer, AI opponents and shot recommendations, running on WebGL. The third, meigen.ai, is a free prompt gallery for AI image and video models with categories, an image-to-prompt tool, character reuse, and a Copy Prompt button, which matches the clip of a Pixar-style prompt being copied. So the useful finds are real; the 'developers will love' pitch for a UI element library points at the wrong kind of site. This is a follow-farming format: no product, no link, just 'save this and follow for more.' The cost to you is time, not money, but the reel's own descriptions are the thing to distrust. Verify what a site is before you send a client there on the strength of a 27-second clip.

What holds up

  • Reel read frame by frame: browser tabs show animejs.com (docs for v4.x: Animation, Timeline, CSS variables, Layout), snookersim.com (3D table with aim and spin controls) and meigen.ai (prompt gallery with 'Copy Prompt' and 'Copied to clipboard').
  • animejs.com and github.com/juliangarnier/anime verified Oct 2, 2026: 'a fast and flexible JavaScript library to animate the web', MIT, about 73.3K stars, v4.5.0 (June 22, 2026); no catalog of ready-made buttons or UI elements.
  • snookersim.com verified: 'realistic 3D snooker simulator you can play in your browser' with live multiplayer, AI opponents, practice mode with shot recommendations; needs JavaScript and WebGL.
  • meigen.ai verified: free gallery of prompts for image and video models, organized by category, with image-to-prompt and character tools and a copy-prompt button; no sign-up stated.

What doesn’t

  • Site one is described as a copy-paste UI kit; it is a developer animation library with an API reference, a different audience and a different use.
  • Pure follow-bait format: no link, no product, 'save this and follow for more'; the page earns on reach, so accuracy is secondary.
  • Prompt galleries show the prompt, not the model, seed or reference images used, so 'recreate viral content' is a starting point, not a recipe.

The catch

Two good links and one mislabeled one. If you want copy-paste UI components you need a component library like a Tailwind or shadcn-style kit, not Anime.js; if you want browser snooker or a prompt gallery, the reel delivered.

How to actually do it

  • For copy-paste UI elements, use a component library built for that (uiverse.io, shadcn/ui, Tailwind UI or Flowbite) and reserve Anime.js for a developer who needs scripted animation.
  • Use meigen.ai prompts as a draft: paste one into your image or video model, then swap in your own product, brand colors and reference images before judging the result.
  • Before passing any 'crazy website' to a client, open it yourself and read its own description; the reel's labels are written for the algorithm.

snookersim.com and meigen.ai are what the reel claims; animejs.com is a JavaScript animation library, not a bank of ready-made UI elements to copy. The page sells nothing but follows, which is also why its one-line descriptions are not reliable.
