A dev team commissioned me to lead a training course on animation and creativity on the web. It would have been strange to lead a training course on "creative" development and web animation without a presentation tool being part of the theme!

Thinking about using the View Transitions API now that all major browsers support it, but not sure where to start? This article’s for you! ✌️
Very happy to share my first blog post that’s not published on my own website 🥳, thanks Piccalilli!

Browser support for view transitions is rocketing and there's not many better out there to help you understand how to implement them than Cyd Stumpel.

✨ My last article about tweening machine is online on Codrops!
I wrote about various challenges encountered when writing my tweening library: the API design choices, staying as low-level as possible etc.
Interesting for me to write it, and I hope it will be interesting for you to read it as well.

Ever wondered how animation libraries actually handle motion?
Willy Brauner breaks it down, sharing the story behind Interpol, a low-level tweening library and the lessons learned while building it.

✨ Interpol examples updates!
I've updated all the internal Interpol usage examples inside the repository with a tweakpane instance on each of them to test different configurations and visualize the current states in real time during animation.

Wow... This is an incredible work. The Easing editor is a pleasure to use!
Anime.js 4.2.0 is out!
🧩 All modules can now be imported individually with subpaths
🎨 CSS variable values support
🏹 Simpler spring API with bounce & duration params
📈 More WAAPI built-in easing functions
🎛️ And an easing editor (animejs.com/easing-editor/)!
Plus tons of fixes and improvements!

Can we talk about the IOS 26 design?
I'm really not sure I'll get used to it this time. The UI feels really broken at some point.

I will be curious how many webgl/webpu devs have migrated to Three.js Shading Language instead of GLSL or WGSL.
The Syntax seems to be easy to understand, but I'm not confortable about learning a "non standard" shading language.

Let me take you on a visual introduction to what big O notation is in my new blog post: samwho.dev/big-o.
With big O notation you can better understand how algorithms will perform in practice, finding orders of magnitude improvements often with very simple changes to your code.
