    Such a sweet story! My friend actually went to the author's Borg party a few weeks ago and I'm second-guessing my choices that night after reading this. Funny to see it on Hacker N…

    IMO it's simple enough to just write directly without library code. For most cases, the Element Capture or Region Capture API should be sufficient: https://developer.mozilla.org/en…

    They write these emails knowing that they'll be public record at some point. The audience is as much internal as it is for the history books. The details get hashed out offline, wh…

    For anything more advanced than a simple easing function or some basic keyframes on one or two channels you'll quickly run into the limitations of this approach. I've been using Th…

    This looks great! I love how intuitive the editor is. For those who need a bit more advanced timeline, check out Theatre.js. Nice to see more motion on the web platform!
