A quick note on motion design
Short placeholder post on using motion deliberately — where animation helps, and where it just gets in the way.

Placeholder content for the third post, kept deliberately short.
Motion with intent
A paragraph about using animation to explain state — where something came from, what just changed — instead of decorating the page. Entrance animations on scroll, collapsible navigation, hover affordances.
The restraint checklist
- One easing curve family for the whole site
- Durations under 500ms for UI transitions
- Respect

That’s the whole post — it exists so the blog list and post template have three entries of varying length.
