My concern, also when building UI with React, is that web design is often only interested in end-state of an interface, playing a bunch of fire-and-forget animations to transition between states.
The reality, that only games and Apple seem to have embraced, is that it's far more sophisticated for animation to reflect a state that can change at 60 or even 120 frames per second, depending on what the user is doing.
This is a great presentation from Apple, Designing Fluid Interfaces, that captures the concept: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2018/803/
Am curious: have any web frameworks embraced this approach?
The gestures and animations in that video are a million miles away from the best I’ve seen on the web.
Would love to know how this was done.
I think the more concerning call would actually be some crazy selector, animation, and implicit state change which could be done in just a few calls that happen rarely.
With this in mind I think the right metric is #call-sites and not #calls: most of the time the effort required to refactor a jquery call away is not proportional to the number of times the function is called.
Does Github use TypeScript?
