There’s something magical about physics-based animation. When we use springs instead of Bézier curves, we tend to get way smoother motion.
Up until recently, we’ve needed to use JS libraries for this, but a modern feature lets us emulate springs in native CSS. ✨

#HTML is only as accessible as you write it.
Semantics determine what an element is, and browsers provide some interactive behavior for native interactive elements for free.
But just because two patterns have similar behavior doesn't make them semantically the same.
