The autoplaying code editing animations are really annoying. By the time I've read the preceding text, it is somewhere in the middle and I don't know what it's doing. Please, can we just agree that animations and videos (and audio) should only play when the reader initiates it? Also, a progress bar would be handy, although it may not always be necessary (for short animal videos and similar).
