Since the "async" animation is the only one that is synchronous, it seems a bit misnamed!
- TazeTSchnitzel 12y agoYes, surely the "delay" one should be Asynchronous, the "async" one should be Synchronous and "one by one" should be Sequential.
- mankyd 12y agoasync and sync aren't even the correct terms here. Parallel, Serial, and Staggered seem more apropos.
- burntcaramel 12y agoMaybe instead of Delayed, Async, OneByOne, have: Staggered, Together, OneByOne Keep the names friendly and not too technical.
- nkozyra 12y agoI felt bad that my impulse coming from that page was to come here and complain about the use of (and poor definition of) 'async.' Imagine my relief when it was already tackled! The good news is this is really quite beautiful and I like the fact that - unlike other monolithic js animation libraries that do similar things like Raphael - it's super slim.
- nippoo 12y agoIs it called "async" because they're All Synchronised? Bit of a long shot, but it's the most logical thing I could think of...!
