Code, But Make it Cute
Ever built a solid React app that works well but lacks personality? Let’s change that! In this talk, we’ll explore how to transform functional applications into visually engaging, delightful experiences using React and animation libraries like GSAP.
We’ll dive into techniques for adding smooth micro-interactions, eye-catching hover effects, and playful transitions that make your UI feel intuitive and dynamic. Through practical, hands-on examples, you’ll learn how small, intentional design choices can dramatically enhance user experience without sacrificing performance.
This session is perfect for React developers who want to go beyond just making things work. We'll make them fun and communicative. By the end, you’ll have the skills to craft interfaces that not only look good but feel amazing to interact with.
