Learn Motion
Learn how to create tasteful animations and micro-interactions with Motion for React.
What is motion?
motion for react is a library for React that allows you to create animations with ease. It provides high-performance, easy to use APIs that allows you to create animations with ease.
Almost everything that you see on Aceternity UI is animated with motion. It has helped me achieve a consistent design language across all of my projects.
There are many other animation libraries as well like Anime.js or GSAP but I found motion to be the most intuitive while working with React.
The intuition
I wanted to keep it simple and focused on the basics. I started working with motion back in 2021 and i've been animating things for over 7 years now. Having built an animation library myself, I know the challenges and the pain points.
Especially in the age of AI when it's so easy to push slop, taste is what separates you from the rest of the crowd. Hence, this course. It is a way for you to learn the right tool for the right job.
What's covered
We are going to cover a wide range of topics, and at the end have a project that you build along with me to put your skills to use.
To summarize it, here's what you will learn:
- Basics of motion, the fundamentals
- Basics of Tailwind CSS (we are going to use it to style our markup)
- initial, animate, hover and exit animations
AnimatePresenceand its use- Variants in motion
- Layout groups / Shared layouts
- Hooks →
useScroll,useSpring,useTransform,useMotionValue,useVelocity,useAnimationFrame - Animation sequences
- Aceternity UI Pro template from scratch
What should you expect here
The lessions are pretty straightforward. You'll get videos for each lesson, along with it the context and code for the video.
The code is a live playground that you can play with, edit values and see the results for yourself.
Some of the lessons will include quizes for you to try out your knowledge, along with their solutions if you get stuck.
The lessons are a great way to learn. Do NOT just watch the video and move on to the next one, you do it everyday and it doesn't help, i know. Rather, Watch the video, go through the content, play with the code to get familiar and then move it.
The process is what will help you to acquire taste, not watching videos.
