Reduced Motion

import { useReducedMotion } from "framer-motion";

function AnimatedCard() {
  const reduce = useReducedMotion();
  return (
    <motion.div
      initial={{ opacity: 0, y: reduce ? 0 : 20 }}
      animate={{ opacity: 1, y: 0 }}
      transition={{ duration: reduce ? 0 : 0.3 }}
    />
  );
}

Loading States (skeleton > spinner)

<div className="animate-pulse space-y-2">
  <div className="h-4 bg-muted rounded w-3/4" />
  <div className="h-4 bg-muted rounded w-1/2" />
</div>

Animation Rules

• Button feedback: 100–150ms (must feel instantaneous)
• ONLY animate transform and opacity (GPU accelerated)
• NEVER animate width, height, margin, padding (triggers reflow)
