This is crazy: Pose Animator takes a 2D vector illustration and animates its containing curves in real-time based on the recognition result from PoseNet and FaceMesh. It borrows the idea of skeleton-based animation from computer graphics and applies it to vector characters. Built on top of PoseNet to track the body’s pose, and the aforementioned […]

Stacked Rainbow Cards
I like how this box animates on hover, thanks to the use of multiple box-shadow effects:
Staggered Animations with CSS Custom Properties
Paul Hebert on the Paul Hebert blog: Movement in nature doesn’t happen all at once. Imagine a flock of birds taking off, raindrops splashing on the ground, or trees bending in the wind. The magic of these moments comes from many small movements overlapping and converging. I wanted to bring this natural movement into my […]
Building mobile-first web animations in React
Talk by Alex Holachek, as brought forward at React Conf 2019: As the technology to create Progressive Web Apps continues to mature, React developers have the opportunity to write web apps that in some cases can rival native ones in terms of speed and convenience. However, one barrier to feature parity is the difficulty of […]

Animated CSS border-image (using an SVG)
Charming little demo by Louis Hoebregts: Using a Data URI he injects an SVG as the url for the border-image CSS property. That SVG itself is then animated using a self-contained tad of inline CSS. (Yes, that’s CSS-in-CSS 😉)
Direction Aware Hover Effect
A thing I commonly see nowadays are animated lines underneath menus and links: Show Pen One issue with that though: when hovering over an item the animation does not start from the place where you hover, but from a fixed point (here: bottom-center). Try hovering an item from one of its edges and you’ll see: […]
Animate CSS Grid Layouts with animate-css-grid
In a new(ish) web-project I’m working on, I went all-in on CSS Grid. The website contains a page where one can filter the list of elements shown. To animate this filtering I used animate-css-grid, as other libraries typically used for this – e.g. Isotope – don’t play nice with CSS Grid. Installation per NPM/Yarn: yarn […]
React Native Parallax Scroll Header with Tabs
Nice writeup on how to create a typical screen where there’s a header image that fades out and disappears as you start scrolling. Essentially, everything but the header is put into a scrollview. In order to keep elements ‘fixed’ (i.e. the tab bar), I use the transform property with a translateY that is set to […]
