Animations on the web

A video-based course by Emil Kowalski

Learn how to craft animations that make people feel something. It's for those that like my style of animations and/or anyone aspiring to improve their skills. This course contains everything I know about motion on the web. You'll learn how to build components like these two below, and more.

Sonner

An opinionated toast component for React that people love.

Vaul

A drawer component for React, made to bring the native feel to the web.

01 — Fundamentals

Split into 3 parts: making it feel right, how I use framer motion, the big little details. I’ll give you some resources that I use when working with motion, a blueprint of sorts. Keep in mind that the parts are not finalized yet and might change.

Family's drawer

We'll build a drawer for mobile devices used in the Family's iOS app.

Dynamic Island

The main focus here will be on easing and the smoothness of the animation.

Author

I’m Emil, a design engineer working at Vercel, and creator of two open source libraries called Sonner and Vaul. I see animations on the web as a form of art, and care deeply about how they look, feel, and behave. I want people to have a moment of delight when they use the things I create.

“Emil’s work blends design, motion and incredible attention to the little things. I’m looking forward to his course. Preordered!”
