Happy Friday! You may have noticed some GSAP news going around web animation Twitter this week. GSAP 3.0, a brand new version of GSAP with new syntax, a smaller file size, and some new features has just been released. I’ve included two links below that go over what's new with lots of examples.

Beyond that, this week’s issue features some very fun type animation, the cutest ”like” button, and a video on designing for motion in the browser.

Until next week,

p.s. Replies go straight to my email, and I read them all. Reply and let me know what you’d most like to learn about UI animation.

The new feature of GSAP 3.0
An all new version of GreenSock with lots of new functionality, smaller file size and new syntax has been released. If you’ve used GSAP before, you’ll find lots of new useful things. And if you’re new to it, this is a great time to start with the new syntax. You can read the official word on the new release here too.
