A few observations:
1. I realize part of the purpose of this site is to demonstrate the functionality, but it would do that just as well if not better with subtler animations.
2. It’s quite disappointing that the site neither tones down the animations for prefers-reduced-motion, nor makes any mention of accessibility. What little discussion I found on GitHub was dismissive. Of course, users of the library can theoretically use it responsibly, but they probably won’t without some consideration directly built in to the library itself.
3. Subtler animations would probably also elicit less negativity. I know, it’s HN, and this kind of project showing up here has an proverbial “kick me” sign, but do I think it would get more positive attention.
4. Less important, but it looks like the project has been around for a while, so it’s not entirely surprising that it isn’t built around (a polyfill for) Shared Element Transitions[1]. I’d expect a library like that will have greater longevity. It is surprising not to see something like that under discussion at all.
- CSSer 4y agoDid you have a specific link in mind for Shared Element Transitions?
- eyelidlessness 4y agoLol yes, can’t edit now sorry. 1: https://github.com/WICG/shared-element-transitions https://github.com/WICG/shared-element-transitions
