Smoother Experience: New Animation System and Design Tokens

What Changed

BrainBox now features a professional-grade animation system that makes every interaction feel smooth and intentional.

Framer Motion Integration

We've integrated Framer Motion throughout the application, bringing:

Smooth page transitions

Subtle hover effects

Animated feedback for actions

Gesture support for touch devices

Semantic Design Tokens

Our new design token system ensures visual consistency:

Color tokens that adapt to light/dark mode

Spacing tokens for consistent layouts

Typography tokens for readable text

Border and shadow tokens for depth

Performance Optimizations

All animations respect the "prefers-reduced-motion" setting, ensuring accessibility for users who are sensitive to motion.

Why It Matters

Great software should feel great to use. These animations and design improvements make BrainBox more intuitive and enjoyable, while the design token system ensures everything looks cohesive.

Technical Details

The animation system uses CSS transforms and opacity for 60fps performance. Design tokens are implemented as CSS custom properties for easy theming.
