so when selecting a card there is an animation that wiggles (or moves) the card. this is definitely super-cute aesthetic but also i find it really distracting. it makes it harder for me to align cards because i can’t quite tell where i’ve moved the card cuz it’s wiggling around. sometimes i also get overwhelmed by too much movement on a screen (but that’s pretty subjective/personal).
…might it be possible to have a setting to toggle this animation on/off?
Welcome @3dwardsharp! I think this is a good feature request.
Could there be an option within Kinopio to toggle animations? You could also implement a prefers-reduced-motion media query to reduce animations.
I love this idea and the motivation behind it because it reminds me that animations are not solely a preference but also an accessibility issue. (•̀ᴗ•́)و ̑̑
I had a software dev colleague, a few decades older than me, she had had lens replacements in her eyes and really struggled with movement on the screen; things like loading spinners would cause her physical pain (and frustrated anger).
Respecting settings like prefers-reduced-motion makes it possible for a wide audience like her to enjoy Kinopio. Props!
Your loading moons are pretty gentle, but if you want to go all in, then something like a softly pulsing circle could be an improvement in that regard.
