  • What kinds of elements animate when a user scrolls past a certain point? Human vision evolved to be highly sensitive to spotting movement. If you're really optimizing for the users that read long passages, I'd recommending being very critical of including any animations, as these may be unpleasant distractions.

  • @maxathousand Minimizing distraction is actually one of the reasons I'd like to better understand scroll behavior—my hope is that if I can trigger the animations at the right time, they'll serve as a quick "break" rather than a persistent annoyance. For the purposes of this question, please assume the existence of the animations is a forgone conclusion. Thank you! Commented Sep 28, 2020 at 18:29
