    Oh hi HN! I'm Josh, the creator of this course.

    For context, Whimsical Animations is my new course that focuses on creating beyond-the-basics animations and interactions with modern CSS, JS, SVG, and Canvas. When I launch new courses, I make a few lessons public for a few days. It’s always a bit tricky since most lessons in my course are part of a larger linear arc, and don't really make sense as standalone lessons. I tried to pick stuff that would be independently valuable, rather than it just being a demonstration of the course format / my teaching style.

    You can learn more about the course on its homepage (https://whimsy.joshwcomeau.com/), since it doesn't really explain much on the Open House page.

    I like Josh. His courses are expensive but compared to a college course they are wayyyyyyy higher quality. Did the CSS one and leveled up a few years ago (pre AI) and felt much smarter. He knows things that many courses fail to teach. He seems like a genuinely chill guy also.

    Nice lesson on animation performance, i learned a lot by reading this.

    As someone trying to build animated, edutainment-rich courses I'm a big admirer of Josh's work. Another banger

    I've always appreciated the craft and attention to detail that Josh puts into his work, and this one is no different. Good stuff.
