436: Control UI with Greg Whitworth
This episode is about evolving the web platform. Meaning literally the change process of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. This is a complicated and sometimes slow process. It involves developers like us (squeaky wheels), standards bodies (the web is bad without governance), browser vendors (whole complicated stew of people), and people like our guest. Outside influencers and shepherds to this process.

WooCommerce

Framer
"When you’ve spent hours designing something beautiful for the web, the last thing you want to hear is “sorry, we can’t build this”. What you need is a tool that bridges design and development.
Framer can be that bridge. It’s a browser-based prototyping tool that enables designers to use code-backed components and dynamic transitions to visually express ideas. When the time comes, developers can jump in and easily inspect elements for CSS or JSX code. Custom animations built with Magic Motion, powered by the Framer Motion library, also come complete with clean code which can be taken straight into production.
