Episode notes

Animation often gets written off as delight. Studies have indicated that the major wins of animation come when connecting actions, user actions. Continuity editing is a fascinating science and study that I'm referencing in this book. It's hard for people who are numbers driven to see how these things can benefit users.

Rachel Nabors gives us a deep-dive into the art & science of web animation. She motivates us to sell animation as a UX enhancement, rather than a delight factor. She also exhorts us to animate ethically and responsibly.
