Our Commentary ​

Smashing Magazine always delivers on practical, in-depth articles. This piece on tactile UX with Lottie sounds like a masterclass in marrying design intent with technical execution. We often talk about performance, but the feel of an application is just as crucial. I appreciate the focus on maintaining control over the designer's vision, which can be a real challenge with complex animations.
