# Emil Kowalski Animation Best Practices

Comprehensive animation guide for web interfaces based on Emil Kowalski's teachings, open-source libraries (Sonner, Vaul), and his [animations.dev](https://animations.dev) course. Contains 58 rules across 8 categories, prioritized by impact.

## When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:
- Adding animations to React components
- Choosing easing curves or timing values
- Implementing gesture-based interactions (swipe, drag)
- Building toast notifications or drawer components
- Optimizing animation performance
- Ensuring animation accessibility
- Expressing any of the above with Tailwind CSS v4 utilities (see the `tw-` category)
