I would like to add to the other comments, in that I had no idea what polyvalent meant too.

I am going to make a wild guess in the dark here, and say that English isn't your first language (I sincerely apologize if I'm wrong). If this is true, did you try to translate a word from your native language into English, or are you a chemist ;)

I know exactly what you're trying to say with the term, but I think you could have much better uptake of your software if you found a word which conveys what you want to convey to a programmer audience.

After looking at the etymology of the word and your explanation of what it means, may I humbly put forward a couple of alternatives, and I am sure HN users could contribute more:

Anime.js is a multi-target yet lightweight Javascript animation library.

Anime.js is a flexible yet lightweight Javascript animation library.

Anime.js is a multi-framework yet lightweight Javascript animation library.

Anime.js is a polygamous yet lightweight (and STD free!) Javascript animation library.

The last entry is a feeble attempt at humour.

P.S. Great job on the library, especially keeping it lightweight

As a Spaniard myself, I am baffled since it is a word kind of common in the sciences. I don't think it's a translator problem, it might be a false friend problem; in Spanish it's "polivalente" instead of "polyvalent"

I would say that, from knowing the Spanish meaning AND use, there is no "decent" translation since it can be precise or simple, but not both. But this is the one I like most even though it has slightly different meaning:

- Anime.js is a flexible yet lightweight Javascript animation library.
