@vercel What's a snovra?

jhey ▲🐻🎈3 years ago

@vercel I did not see this until I posted it 🤦‍♂️ Now people are pointing it out, I can't unsee it 😂

Eduard Constantin3 years ago

@vercel I think this effect will look even better with this icons

jhey ▲🐻🎈3 years ago

@vercel It does look cool! 💯👍

Erfan Ebrahimnia3 years ago

@vercel Beautiful 😍 Are there performance aspects to consider with multiple canvas elements?

jhey ▲🐻🎈3 years ago

For sure! 💯 And that's why I only activate the canvas particles on pointerenter and pointerleave ✨ GSAP has a great utility for this called gsap.ticker where you can control the fps as well as easily add and remove things to the ticker when needed 😎 It saves having to manage requestAnimationFrame yourself 🙌

@vercel Too cool

CSS Trick! ⭐️ You can create this sparkly backdrop with a single element using mask-composite whilst animating the mask-position 😷 .canvas { background: var(--gradient); mask: var(--dots), var(--noise); mask-composite: intersect /* source-in, xor */; animation: flicker; } @keyframes flicker { to { mask-position: 50% 50% , 0 50%; } } The trick is to layer the masks and then use the intersect value on the mask-composite ✨ Intersect works as it would in SVG by combining the masks and taking their intersection. The dots mask is a basic radial-gradient that is repeated across the element: mask: radial-gradient(circle at 50% 50%, white 2px, transparent 2.5px) 50% 50% / 40px 40px; The noise mask is a generated image of Perlin Noise (h/t to JohnPhamous for finding the site for that). That becomes the second mask: mask: url("noise.png") 50% 50% / 256px 256px; Once they are intersected. The last piece is to animate the mask-position as shown above 👆 Have a play with the demo and see what you think! CodePen.IO link below! 👇

CSS Tip! ✨ You can create icon sprite animations using the steps() animation-timing function 🤙 You could use this to create little icon button animations, etc. 😎 But how do you do it? Like this 👇 button img { object-fit: cover; object-position: 0 0; } The image is a sprite strip of the frames in the animation. To animate the frames, you do something like this: [aria-pressed=true] img { animation: play 0.5s steps(20) forwards; } @ keyframes play { to { object-position: 100% 0; } } We are toggling aria-pressed in our scripts to show a pressed state and we can then fire the animation to play our sprite 🎉 Check out the video that breaks things down a little bit CodePen.IO link blow! 👇

CSS Trick! 🎃 You can create a wavey border for elements by layering masks 🎭 Used to create this ghost! 👻 Check the video for an exploding view 🫶 .👻 { --size: 20px; mask: radial-gradient(var(--size) at bottom, transparent 97%, #000), radial-gradient(var(--size) at 25% 50%, #000 97%, transparent); mask-repeat: repeat-x; mask-size: calc(2 * var(--size)) 100%, calc(4 * var(--size)) calc(2 * var(--size)); mask-position: 50% calc(100% - var(--size)), calc(50% - var(--size)) 99%; } That code looks kinda scary! 👻 This is one way you could do things. Check the video again or explode in the demo. One mask cuts out circles from the bottom of the element. The other adds overlaid circles back. And that overlap creates the wavey line you want for the ghost 🤙 Using a custom property you can write once and not have to touch again. Update the custom property to update the wave size as shown in the video 🎬 The last piece of the puzzle is animating the mask-position to create that animation @ keyframes flow { to { mask-position: calc(50% + (var(--size) * 4)) calc(100% - var(--size)), calc((50% - var(--size)) + (var(--size) * 4)) 99%; } } If you play with the demo, you may find some Easter eggs!

CSS Tip! 🤙 You can create this magnetic :hover effect with CSS anchor positioning, :has, and zero JS 🔥 article { anchor-name: --develop; } ul:has(li:hover) { --anchor: --develop; } ul::after { inset: anchor(var(--anchor) top) anchor(var(--anchor) right) ... ; } How do you keep it clean when entering/exiting the list? Use transition-delay ⭐️ ul:has(li:hover) { --active: 1; } ul::after { opacity: var(--active, 0); transition: opacity 0.2s, inset 0.2s 0.2s; } ul:hover::after { transition: opacity 0.2s 0.2s, inset 0.2s; } This is a cool trick you can use. Delay the opacity on enter and then delay the position on exit. That way you don't get a weird effect on enter/exit 🙏 This one's a "Future" CSS tip 🔮 But, the demo will work in all browsers in some way. The idea is to progressively enhance it. 1. No JavaScript and no Anchor Positioning? Highlight on hover ✏️ 2. No Anchor Positioning? Use JavaScript with a single event listener to update the inset values using elementFromPoint and .closest 🫶 3. If there is Anchor Positioning support, use that and don't fire the JavaScript.

CSS Trick! 🤙 You can create gradient borders on translucent elements using mask-clip and mask-composite with a pseudo-element 🔥 .gradient-border::after { mask-clip: padding-box, border-box; mask-composite: intersect; mask: linear-gradient(transparent, transparent), linear-gradient(white, white); } It's the same "Transparent border trick" from before. But, now you apply it to a pseudo-element 😎 The trick is to create a pseudo-element with a gradient background and then mask it so we only see the part we want, the border ✨ mask-clip defines the area affected by a mask. Similar to how you can define background-size. Using padding-box and border-box constrains the two masks. mask-composite is the magic part ✨ It defines a compositing operation for stacked mask layers. Using intersect means that the parts that overlap get replaced. And this seems to work in all browsers 🙌 As for the rest of the styles... – Make sure you set pointer-events: none on the pseudo-element – Make sure it fills the parent element. You can use position: absolute and inset: 0 – Make sure the background fills the space including the border-width. You can use calc to achieve that: --bg-size: calc(100% + (2px * var(--border))); background: var(--gradient) center center / var(--bg-size) var(--bg-size); That's it! 🚀 Gradient borders on translucent elements. You can set all the backdrop-filter: blur() you like! 😅 CodePen.IO link below! 👇

CSS Trick ⚡️ (˗ˏˋ rogie ˎˊ˗ challenge edition 🤙) You can create this secret code reveal with only CSS using :has() and trig functions 🔥 .digit::hover + .digit, .digit:has(+ .digit:hover) { --active: var(--lerp-1); } :root { --lerp-1: calc(sin(50deg)); } .digit { scale: calc(var(--active) + 0.5); } There are a couple of moving parts. The first thing we can do is set up a scale. :root { --lerp-0: 1; /* === sin(90deg) */ --lerp-1: calc(sin(50deg)); --lerp-2: calc(sin(45deg)); --lerp-3: calc(sin(35deg)); --lerp-4: calc(sin(25deg)); --lerp-5: calc(sin(15deg)); } The digit styles define scale and blur. They also dictate the transition duration .digit { transition: scale calc(((1 - var(--active, 0)) + 0.2) * 1s); } When a digit is hovered, then you can set the --active custom property based on the digit position 🤙 The digit that is hovered. .digit:hover { --active: var(--lerp-0); } And the digit on either side of that hovered digit .digit:is(:hover, :focus-visible) + .digit, .digit:has(+ .digit:is(:hover, :focus-visible)) { --active: var(--lerp-1); } We can select the previous sibling using :has() and the next sibling with the sibling combinator (+) And that's it! ⭐️ That's how you create these hover scale interactions with CSS 🙌 We're jus' waiting on Firefox for :has() support.

Future CSS Tip! 📜 You can use scroll-driven animations like JavaScript's IntersectionObserver to animate highlights ✏️ mark { animation-name: highlight; animation-timeline: view(); } @keyframes highlight { to { --light: 1; }} mark span { background-position: calc((1 - var(--light)) * 110%) 0; transition: background 1s; } The "trick" is to animate a custom property with a scroll-driven animation. These will flip in a binary fashion if not using @property. And that's what you want. You can then use that value to set the style on the highlights ( ). What you see is the transition of a background-position to get the multi-line highlight. A technique posted on this account before 🤙 Added bonuses: – Could use another element for the author initials of a highlight and animate that in too. Here the pseudoelement is being used. But another accessible span would do the trick. – Highlight color is scoped inline via hue. – View transition theme switch for a bonus that looks like a triangle. Been messing with Vercel docs so was the easiest thing to go with 😅 CodePen.IO link below! 👇

Gemini 3 is the best model at creating animations. It's not even close. Here are the prompts I used for creating these UI animations. You don't need animations everywhere, but there are key places where it can enhance your design: the hero intro, hover interactions, slow content reveal, background effects and navigation transitions. Gemini 3 relies heavily on good prompting, ideally with image or code. Intro + animation on scroll: "Animate when in view: fade in, slide in, blur in, element by element. Use 'both' instead of 'forwards'. Don't use opacity 0. Add a clip animation to the background, column by column using clip-path." Buttons: "Add a 1px border beam animation around the pill-shaped button on hover. " Text animation: "Add a vertical text clip slide down animation letter by letter" Logos looping: "Add a marquis infinite loop slow animation to the logos using alpha mask" Content switching: "Animate the big card to rotate between 3 cards in a loop. Add prev/next arrows to switch between cards." Flashlight on hover: "Add a subtle flashlight effect on hover/mouse position to both background and border of the cards." Testimonials looping: "Make the cards animate marquis in an infinite loop with alpha mask slowly."

Future UI Tip ✨ You can create an HTML && CSS only Accordion that only has one section open at a time 🤙 Do this by adding a matching name attribute to sibling details elements ✨ One Two Check this video where the sibling elements have their name attributes toggled 👇 Notice how the behavior changes. This is a pretty sweet addition from the Open UI group 👏 One issue is getting CSS transitions to work with the sections which seems like an age-old problem with many articles around it. Seems like it should work with @ starting-style or View Transitions 🤔 But, no luck on my end 🥲 CodePen.IO link below! 👇

CSS Tip! ⭐️ You can use mix-blend-mode with scoped custom properties to create this inverted :hover effect 🤙 button > span { left: calc(var(--x, 0) * 1px); top: calc(var(--y, 0) * 1px); mix-blend-mode: difference; 👈 } The cool trick is that using mix-blend-mode acts like a color inverter which works well with monochromatic controls 😍 Saves defining the :hover colors, etc. It works it out for you! As for how to move that spot around? A teeny bit of JavaScript 🤏 const UPDATE = ({target, x, y }) => { const bounds = target.getBoundingClientRect() target.style.setProperty('--x', x - bounds.left) target.style.setProperty('--y', y - bounds.top) } const BTNS = document.querySelectorAll('button') BTNS.forEach(BTN => BTN.addEventListener('pointermove', UPDATE)) On :hover you can use a scoped custom property to change the size of the spot button:is(:hover, :focus-visible) { --active: 1; } button span { transform: translate(-50%, -50%) scale(calc(var(--active, 0) * 3); transition: transform 0.25s; } But, what about the bouncy easy? You can use linear() where supported to create a bouncy transition ✨ @supports (transition-timing-function: linear(0, 1)) { button:is(:hover, :focus-visible) span { transition-duration: 0.5s; transition-timing-function: linear( 0, 0.5007 7.21%, 0.7803 12.29%, ... ); } } That's it!

CSS Trick! 🤙 What's powering this button effect? One property ⭐️ You can create the effect by placing a button over your content and using mix-blend-mode 🫶 button { mix-blend-mode: difference; 👈 position: fixed; } It's a really easy one to play around with and you can get some pretty interesting results. It certainly adds some visual interest. But, be careful with what images you use and try to make sure your text is still readable 🙏 CodePen.IO link below! 👇

CSS Trick 🍏 You can create that Apple-style blowout text effect with CSS scroll animations and fixed positioning ⚡️ .word { animation: blowout; animation-timeline: --section; } @keyframes blowout { 0%, 95% { background: transparent; } to { transform: translateZ(99vh); background: #000; } } The trick here is to fix the position of some things in your layout and then animate them based on their non-fixed containers ⭐️ The .word is position: fixed within a that has a height of 200vh section { view-timeline: --section; } section:first-of-type { height: 200vh; } Every section has a view-timeline: --section that creates a scoped ViewTimeline for each section's children 🤙 As that first section scrolls out of view, you increase its opacity and move it on the z-axis towards you. That gives it the impression of scaling up 🆙 .word { animation: blowout, fade-in; animation-timing-function: ease-in; animation-fill-mode: both; animation-timeline: --section; animation-range: exit-crossing 10% exit 0%; } You can use the exit-crossing range combined with the exit range to get a timing you like ✨ Definitely experiment with these ranges to see how they play. The timing function creates interesting effects too! At the same time as the text scales up, you need to fade in the video and the text that goes with it. Again, you can use the parent container's ViewTimeline --section p, video { animation: fade-in, fade-out; animation-timing-function: ease-in; animation-fill-mode: both; animation-timeline: --section; } p { animation-range: entry 10% entry 35%, exit 0% exit 25%; } video { animation-range: entry 0% entry 25%, exit 10% exit 35%; } The timings are slightly different here. Again, you can play with them to get something that feels right for you! @keyframes fade-in { to { opacity: 1; }} @keyframes fade-out { to { opacity: 0; }} Theoretically, you should be able to do something with animation-direction: reverse/alternate like yesterday's demo video { animation: fade 2 both linear alternate-reverse; } The trick with this effect is all about timing and creating containers that are bigger than the content and using them to drive the animations 🏎️ The scroll-driven signature is a bonus! ✍️ Perhaps a follow-up on that one 🤙 As always, any questions, requests, etc. Hit me up! With this demo, the GreenSock ScrollTrigger code is included where the CSS scroll-driven animations API is not supported 🙌 That means you could use this demo today! CodePen.IO link below! 👇

CSS Tip! 📜 You can create scroll indicators with scroll-driven animations 📍 Reveal a shadow, mask the content, etc. .indicator--top { animation: reveal; animation-timeline: scroll(nearest); animation-range: 0 2rem; } @keyframes reveal { 0% { scale: 1 0; }} The trick here is to hook into the scroll position of the nearest scroll container with .indicator { animation-timeline: scroll(nearest); } Your reveal animation is going to scale the indicator up from 0 on the y-axis @keyframes reveal { 0% { scale: 1 0; }} The timeline is however much you want to scroll by before revealing the indicator. In this example, you're saying to reveal the indicator once the scroller has been scrolled by 2rem .indicator--top { animation-range: 0 2rem; } How do you make this work for the opposite indicator? Use animation direction and a range based on the end of the scroller .indicator--bottom { animation-range: calc(100% - var(--scroll-buffer)) 100%; animation-direction: reverse; } You can use this same concept for the different styles to reveal different indicators. The only one that's different is the mask. The mask one animates the mask size across three mask layers and uses a mask composite to exclude the pieces that don't need to be shown 🤙 As always, any questions or requests, hit me up! 🙏 CodePen.IO link below! 👇

For the first time we are fundamentally changing how humans can collaborate with ChatGPT since it launched two years ago. We’re introducing canvas, a new interface for working with ChatGPT on writing and coding projects that go beyond simple chat. Product and model features: 1/ Ask for in-line feedback. With canvas, ChatGPT can better understand the context of what you’re trying to accomplish. You can highlight specific sections to indicate exactly what you want ChatGPT to focus on. Like a copy editor or code reviewer, it can give in-line feedback and suggestions with the entire project in mind. 2/ Directly edit the model's output and select a specific area for targeted editing. You control your creative work on canvas. You can directly edit text or code. 3/ Menu of shortcuts. There’s a menu of shortcuts for you to ask ChatGPT to adjust writing length, debug your code, and quickly perform other useful actions. You can also restore previous versions of your work by using the back button in canvas. 4/ Use search with canvas for research writing! As we are moving towards the new paradigm of reasoning we are fundamentally evolving the chat interface into a more collaborative human-AI interaction. Today you can say “browse / use browsing to find XYZ on the internet and write a report in canvas”
