Just made the animated icon for it. What do you think?

And yes, the course will absolutely show you how to create icon animations like this. 😄

That’s very cool but would it be pure JS or vite or are you planning to use frameworks?

joshwcomeau.com•38 days ago

So for most things, we’ll explore them in a vanilla context. The playgrounds themselves do use some sort of bundler, and the downloaded one uses vite, but pretty much just for hot reloading.

Some lessons will show how to apply concepts in React (and it should translate well to other frameworks)

Thanks Josh! Looking forward to it, I’m sure the course will be amazing

Looks beautiful, specially the subtle color transition.

Absolutely superb. Really invokes a feeling of being pressed.

I may or may not have added react spring to a client project recently to do the “boop” animation so my appetite is whetted.

I think…. It’s a shame how easy it is to add things like this but how most the time it’s not prioritized or even passed over because it’s not “professional”

oh man I wish dollars weren't so expensive for me

Josh has been great about implementing price parity or working with customers who might have difficulty paying in dollars. I would reach out to him to see if you can’t work something out.
