Building delightful UX with animation systems

A strong animation system starts with consistency. Instead of random motions, define a small set of movement patterns for entrances, hover interactions, and feedback states.

For production apps, favor transform and opacity because they are GPU-friendly and smooth on low-end devices. Keep durations short, and apply easing with intention.

The best motion is subtle: enough to communicate hierarchy and state changes, but not so much that users feel delayed or distracted.
