Re: Dynamics.js, a JavaScript library to create physics-based animations
#34Anybody feeling this kind of animations aren't bringing a lot to the table ? I was thrilled to watch lollipop material design (and even kitkat project butter), but it quickly faded (sic). Instant, simple interfaces are needed in many tasks where I don't enjoy or even have the luxury to waste time on distracting animations.

"Chrome-based" would be more accurate because it doesn't even work in the latest Firefox.
Also, it contains a full page rant on why Firefox is bad (because of something about Netscape and AOL -- apparently it's still 1995).
If you're going to call it "web-based" try targeting more than 1 browser regardless of your personal beliefs.

I think there's value in these physics-based animations. Immediate motion is jarring ('temporal aliasing'), and ease-in/ease-out can feel really sluggish. Spring easing can be a lot more satisfying.

Of course there's always a the danger of "overdoing it" w/ ridiculous animations but if you can avoid that temptation it's a very handy tool.

#39If this library is too much muscle & you just need a serviceable animation library, check out Daniel Eden's animate.css: https://github.com/daneden/animate.css Demo: http://daneden.github.io/animate.css/ Of course there's always a the danger of "overdoing it" w/ ridiculous animations but if you can avoid that temptation it's a very handy tool.
It's a definite WIP so any thoughts / ideas / opinions are welcome: Gabrielmtn+github@gmail.com
