- The difference between good and great animations | GeekNews
- [Original] Good vs Great Animations
- Animation is a key factor in UI quality; beyond simply looking good, it provides a natural feel and intuitive interactions
- Making great animations requires awareness of the origin, choosing the right Easing, using spring effects, and a deep understanding of your tools
- Custom Easing curves can convey stronger immersion and energy than the default CSS Easing functions
- Using Framer Motion's useSpring hook makes mouse-position-based interactions feel more realistic and smooth
- The deeper your understanding of CSS properties, the more creatively you can implement new animations or improve existing ones
