Happy Friday! I’m finishing up an action-packed week in San Francisco before heading to my first talk of the year at An Event Apart Seattle. My talk is on making motion inclusive and I’m super excited for this first run of it.

This week’s issue has a few examples of clip-path animation going on in the various tutorials and demos. There’s also a collection of great cutting edge demos, and a deep dive into what makes microinteractions effective.

Until next week,

p.s. Replies go straight to my email, and I read them all. Tell me about what you’re planning to learn in 2019.

Text trail effects
A neat Dribbble-inspired text trail effect demo from Mary Lou at Codrops, using GSAP for the animation.
 

How Facebook is using microinteractions for feature discovery
A deep dive into the design and reasoning behind Facebook's feature discovery microinteraction that includes recreating it with clip-path and Vue.
