I always wondered whether CSS animations are really faster than JavaScript.

After a lot of research, it turns out they're not! I shared what I learned in this video:

My favorite feature in Chrome is taking a screenshot of any element on the page using "Capture node screenshot" in dev tools.

Finally we have a simple way to group objects in an array in JavaScript.
const users = [ { name: "User 1", plan: "free" }, { name: "User 2", plan: "premium" }, { name: "User 3", plan: "free" } ] Object.groupBy(users, ({ plan }) => plan) /* Result is: { free: [ { "name": "User 1", "plan": "free" }, { "name": "User 3", "plan": "free" } ], premium: [ { "name": "User 2", "plan": "premium" } ] } */

🔥 JS tip: You can listen for the `transitionend` event on an element to know when the CSS transition has completed.

Using `setTimeout` to wait is not accurate.
Also, there's `animationend` for CSS animations.

💡Creating UI interactions (especially complex ones) feels like game development; it involves math, logic, algorithms, and performance.
