Colin Devroe pointed out that a detail in his kanban app Signboard:

as you drag a card it begins to slightly tilt in the direction that you’re dragging

This is exactly the kind of minutiae I love and get lost in.

I recently added CSS to fade, blur, resize, and tilt elements as they scroll on/off the screen, which gives me a similar sense of pleasure.

And, of course, I've had the ability to swipe left & right on a touchscreen to go forward and back through the days on the blog.

Inspired by Mr Devroe, I thought this could be taken further. Introducing staggered horizontal scroll of post elements to give visual indication of the scroll:

The element directly under the point of touch scrolls in the direction of the swipe, then the adjacent items scroll less to cause a sort of rubbery/ripple effect.

Like the other Colin, this makes me happy. 😊

Okay, so I may have accidentally overwritten the blog file and had to revert to an older version.
