Open & Close

I wanted to replicate CreativeDash’s open & close animation with pure CSS/SASS, but don’t think it’s possible without SVG path animations. This is the closest I got.

Kyle Henwood wrote a great blog post on how to build this with SVG.

Also, Anders Ingemann’s tutorial Radial progress indicator using CSS was really helpful in trying to figure out the circular mask.

The animation is based on this Open & Close dribbble shot by CreativeDash

Creative coding from a front-end developer's perspective

My goal with this blog is to go beyond the basics. Breakdown my sketches. And make animation math approachable. The newsletter is more of that.
