Sweet Web Animations API
summary
Walks through replacing Flash/GSAP/CSS keyframes with the Web Animations API, building the demo character that pauses on click, resumes with playState checks, and uses element.animate(keyframes, options) for concise control. Shows integration with the Speech Recognition API to voice-command “sleep” and “wake up,” uses Chrome/Firefox animation devtools to inspect and throttle playback, and links an open source Web Animation Playground; works on modern desktop browsers but remains experimental in some engines.
