Clickbaity title; more like "things to consider when designing animations."

I appreciate subtle animations like the button press. Visual feedback gives me confidence in UI actions and makes things less jarring. Same idea with CSS smooth scroll.

But a lot of this feels subjective. Anybody have user studies on the effectiveness of UI animation?

Also, I think a lot of people would be happier if web apps exposed settings like zero animation / mild animation/ full animation. Power users could speed up their workflows by turning off animations. Kinda like my phone UI settings.

This exists as a browser setting, it's called "prefers-reduced-motion", an example usage in my code: https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash/blob/master/pub...

That is very not-enough, as it is literally "prefers reduced" but i need (not prefer) zero animation. And yet with this present several years already websites just happily ignore the setting. So i believe this should be honored by browsers which should just stop animating transitions. But then there is the other elephant in the room (JS anims).
