Good vs Great Animations

Since the rollover image swap effect (JavaScript’s first killer use case nearly 30 years ago) and the CSS hover effect (an early gateway drug for CSS) animation has been an important feature of web design. The technologies we have now-the long established transitions and animations in CSS, various animation libraries, and more recently View Transitions (welcome React developers, good to have you on board) give us great power when it comes to animation–this article focusses on some small aspects of animation design that can. make for some great animations.

You can find quite a few talks at Conffab on the topic here on the technology, design, and accessibility of animations.
