A little preview of the animated menu I built using @motion.dev x @nuxt.com for my upcoming portfolio 🧡 Sharing a short video to show how the menu looks so far 👇

I have two rules for carousel pagination controls. 1. A "page" is calculated from the current item to the start of the next partially-obscured item. 2. Use the current *target* offset, not the current visual offset, to find the next partially-obscured item 🧵

Thrilled to grace the @motion.dev landing page! ✨ When a tool's this incredible, giving a testimonial is a no-brainer. If Motion isn't in your toolkit, it should be.

🚀 New example & tutorial: Card stack Honestly my favourite part of making this demo was realising: rotate = mix(min, max, Math.sin(index)) Nice SSR-safe alternative to Math.random() that actually provides a nicer distribution of rotations through the stack. examples.motion.dev/react/card-s...

🚀 Motion's mini animate() just got minier. The web's miniest animation function is now only 2.3kb, a 15% reduction. Minsane.

🚀 Motion's view function is now animateView, introducing a new "wait" interrupt mode. If a View Transition is interrupted, it snaps to the end before starting the next animation. animateView fixes this by waiting until the current one is finished. Before/after:

🚀 Introducing Motion for @vuejs.org — A feature-complete port of Motion for React (prev Framer Motion). Springs, scroll, AnimatePresence, gestures, and yes, layout animations. All that and more, powered by Motion's unique hybrid engine, wrapped up with its simple API. 🔗 motion.dev/blog/introdu...

🐞 When debugging motion components with React Developer Tools, they used to all appear as "MotionComponent". But no more! From 11.16.1, they'll appear as motion.div, motion.ul etc. Custom components will even appear as motion.create(YourComponentName)

🚀 The first batch of vanilla JS examples have gone up on examples.motion.dev! Owning the examples site is great, makes it easier to keep examples up-to-date, tested and discoverable. The iframes also load faster in the docs, and fit nicer into the overall design.

A couple QoL updates for Motion Examples, hot off the press. 1. Examples now rated for difficulty, and ordered easiest-first. 2. Examples are scanned for props as well as imports, and these are all now linked through to the relevant docs too.

Had a couple things to finish up before 🎄 and my wife kindly set me up in a cozy pub in which to do them. Sat here thinking to myself, it's been an amazing end to a year. Wild really. Lucky for you, it *is* the beer talking. Here's a Motion+ discount code, courtesy of Santa. motion.dev/plus

🚀 Introducing the new Motion examples minisite! This is the new home for Motion examples. This is just the first version but it already has most of the introductory Motion for React examples. Much more to come. 1/3 🧵
