I like Tom’s assertion that React (which he’s using as a stand-in for JavaScript frameworks in general) has an ideal usage:
There is a sweet spot of React: in moderately interactive interfaces. Complex forms that require immediate feedback, UIs that need to move around and react instantly. That’s where it excels.
If there is anything I hope for the world of web design and development, it’s that we get better at picking the right tools for the job.
I heard several people hone in on this:
I can, for example, guarantee that this blog is faster than any Gatsby blog (and much love to the Gatsby team) because there is nothing that a React static site can do that will make it faster than a non-React static site.
One reaction was hell yes. React is a bunch of JavaScript and it does lots of stuff, but does not grant superpowers that make the web faster than it was without it. Another reaction was: well it actually does. That’s kind of the whole point of SPAs: not needing to reload the page. Instead, we’re able to make a trimmed network request for the new data needed for a new page and re-rendering only what is necessary.
Rich digs into that even more:
When I tap on a link on Tom’s JS-free website, the browser first waits to confirm that it was a tap and not a brush/swipe, then makes a request, and then we have to wait for the response. With a framework-authored site with client-side routing, we can start to do more interesting things. We can make informed guesses based on analytics about which things the user is likely to interact with and preload the logic and data for them. We can kick off requests as soon as the user first touches (or hovers) the link instead of waiting for confirmation of a tap — worst case scenario, we’ve loaded some stuff that will be useful later if they do tap on it. We can provide better visual feedback that loading is taking place and a transition is about to occur. And we don’t need to load the entire contents of the page — often, we can make do with a small bit of JSON because we already have the JavaScript for the page. This stuff gets fiendishly difficult to do by hand.
That’s what makes this stuff so easy to argue about. Everyone has good points. When we try to speak on behalf of the entire web, it’s tough for us all to agree. But the web is too big for broad, sweeping assertions.
Do people reach for React-powered SPAs too much? Probably, but that’s not without reason. There is innovation there that draws people in. The question is, how can we improve it?
From a front-of-the-front-end perspective, the fact that front-end frameworks like React encourage demand us write a front-end in components is compelling all by itself.
There is optimism and pessimism in both posts. The ending sentences of both are starkly different.
Apple is well-known for the sleek animations on their product pages. For example, as you scroll down the page products may slide into view, MacBooks fold open and iPhones spin, all while showing off the hardware, demonstrating the software and telling interactive stories of how the products are used.
Just check out this video of the mobile web experience for the iPad Pro:
A lot of the effects that you see there aren’t created in just HTML and CSS. What then, you ask? Well, it can be a little hard to figure out. Even using the browser’s DevTools won’t always reveal the answer, as it often can’t see past a <canvas> element.
Let’s take an in-depth look at one of these effects to see how it’s made so you can recreate some of these magical effects in our own projects. Specifically, let’s replicate the AirPods Pro product page and the shifting light effect in the hero image.
The basic concept
The idea is to create an animation just like a sequence of images in rapid succession. You know, like a flip book! No complex WebGL scenes or advanced JavaScript libraries are needed.
By synchronizing each frame to the user’s scroll position, we can play the animation as the user scrolls down (or back up) the page.
Start with the markup and styles
The HTML and CSS for this effect is very easy as the magic happens inside the <canvas> element which we control with JavaScript by giving it an ID.
In CSS, we’ll give our document a height of 100vh and make our <body> 5⨉ taller than that to give ourselves the necessary scroll length to make this work. We’ll also match the background color of the document with the background color of our images.
The last thing we’ll do is position the <canvas>, center it, and limit the max-width and height so it does not exceed the dimensions of the viewport.
Right now, we are able to scroll down the page (even though the content does not exceed the viewport height) and our <canvas> stays at the top of the viewport. That’s all the HTML and CSS we need.
Let’s move on to loading the images.
Fetching the correct images
Since we’ll be working with an image sequence (again, like a flip book), we’ll assume the file names are numbered sequentially in ascending order (i.e. 0001.jpg, 0002.jpg, 0003.jpg, etc.) in the same directory.
We’ll write a function that returns the file path with the number of the image file we want, based off of the user’s scroll position.
const currentFrame = index => (
`https://www.apple.com/105/media/us/airpods-pro/2019/1299e2f5_9206_4470_b28e_08307a42f19b/anim/sequence/large/01-hero-lightpass/${index.toString().padStart(4, '0')}.jpg`
)
Since the image number is an integer, we’ll need to turn it in to a string and use padStart(4, '0') to prepend zeros in front of our index until we reach four digits to match our file names. So, for example, passing 1 into this function will return 0001.
That gives us a way to handle image paths. Here’s the first image in the sequence drawn on the <canvas> element:

As you can see, the first image is on the page. At this point, it’s just a static file. What we want is to update it based on the user’s scroll position. And we don’t merely want to load one image file and then swap it out by loading another image file. We want to draw the images on the <canvas> and update the drawing with the next image in the sequence (but we’ll get to that in just a bit).
We already made the function to generate the image filepath based on the number we pass into it so what we need to do now is track the user’s scroll position and determine the corresponding image frame for that scroll position.
Connecting images to the user’s scroll progress
To know which number we need to pass (and thus which image to load) in the sequence, we need to calculate the user’s scroll progress. We’ll make an event listener to track that and handle some math to calculate which image to load.
We need to know:
Where scrolling starts and ends
The user’s scroll progress (i.e. a percentage of how far the user is down the page)
The image that corresponds to the user’s scroll progress
We’ll use scrollTop to get the vertical scroll position of the element, which in our case happens to be the top of the document. That will serve as the starting point value. We’ll get the end (or maximum) value by subtracting the window height from the document scroll height. From there, we’ll divide the scrollTop value by the maximum value the user can scroll down, which gives us the user’s scroll progress.
Then we need to turn that scroll progress into an index number that corresponds with the image numbering sequence for us to return the correct image for that position. We can do this by multiplying the progress number by the number of frames (images) we have. We’ll use Math.floor() to round that number down and wrap it in Math.min() with our maximum frame count so it never exceeds the total number of frames.
We now know which image we need to draw as the user’s scroll progress changes. This is where the magic of <canvas> comes into play. <canvas> has many cool features for building everything from games and animations to design mockup generators and everything in between!
One of those features is a method called requestAnimationFrame that works with the browser to update <canvas> in a way we couldn’t do if we were working with straight image files instead. This is why I went with a <canvas> approach instead of, say, an <img> element or a <div> with a background image.
requestAnimationFrame will match the browser refresh rate and enable hardware acceleration by using WebGL to render it using the device’s video card or integrated graphics. In other words, we’ll get super smooth transitions between frames — no image flashes!
Let’s call this function in our scroll event listener to swap images as the user scrolls up or down the page. requestAnimationFrame takes a callback argument, so we’ll pass a function that will update the image source and draw the new image on the <canvas>:
We’re bumping up the frameIndex by 1 because, while the image sequence starts at 0001.jpg, our scroll progress calculation starts actually starts at 0. This ensures that the two values are always aligned.
The callback function we pass to update the image looks like this:
We pass the frameIndex into the function. That sets the image source with the next image in the sequence, which is drawn on our <canvas> element.
Even better with image preloading
We’re technically done at this point. But, come on, we can do better! For example, scrolling quickly results in a little lag between image frames. That’s because every new image sends off a new network request, requiring a new download.
We should try preloading the images new network requests. That way, each frame is already downloaded, making the transitions that much faster, and the animation that much smoother!
All we’ve gotta do is loop through the entire sequence of images and load ‘em up:
const frameCount = 148;
const preloadImages = () => {
for (let i = 1; i < frameCount; i++) {
const img = new Image();
img.src = currentFrame(i);
}
};
preloadImages();
Demo!

A quick note on performance
While this effect is pretty slick, it’s also a lot of images. 148 to be exact.
No matter much we optimize the images, or how speedy the CDN is that serves them, loading hundreds of images will always result in a bloated page. Let’s say we have multiple instances of this on the same page. We might get performance stats like this:
That might be fine for a high-speed internet connection without tight data caps, but we can’t say the same for users without such luxuries. It’s a tricky balance to strike, but we have to be mindful of everyone’s experience — and how our decisions affect them.
A few things we can do to help strike that balance include:
Loading a single fallback image instead of the entire image sequence
Creating sequences that use smaller image files for certain devices
Allowing the user to enable the sequence, perhaps with a button that starts and stops the sequence
Apple employs the first option. If you load the AirPods Pro page on a mobile device connected to a slow 3G connection and, hey, the performance stats start to look a whole lot better:
Yeah, it’s still a heavy page. But it’s a lot lighter than what we’d get without any performance considerations at all. That’s how Apple is able to get get so many complex sequences onto a single page.
Further reading
If you are interested in how these image sequences are generated, a good place to start is the Lottie library by AirBnB. The docs take you through the basics of generating animations with After Effects while providing an easy way to include them in projects.
When you use font-display: swap;, which Google Fonts does when you use the default &display=swap part of the URL , you’re already saying, “I’m cool with FOUT,” which is another way of saying web text is displayed right away, and when the web font is ready, “swap” to it.
There is already an async nature to what you are doing, so you might as well extend that async-ness to the rest of the font loading. Harry Roberts:
If you’re going to use font-display for your Google Fonts then it makes sense to asynchronously load the whole request chain.

Looking for a gaming clan logo maker? Need a gaming clan logo for your competitive group or guild? Well, in this tutorial, we’ll look at how to make a clan logo right from the comfort of your browser, no software required. It’s simple, easy, and you can get started right now.
For this tutorial, we’re going to use Placeit—an awesome online tool where you can create and design all kinds of mockups, logos, and more within your browser.
There’s a big collection of cool logos for clans, created with gaming in mind, but they’re all customizable too—change up the text, the font, the colors, and even the imagery. Create and customize the perfect logo for your clan, and then download it as a high-resolution image, perfect for any project—from T-shirts to video overlays.
Placeit has an entire section for gaming—gaming logos, Twitch banners, avatars, and a lot more! The best part is, it’s free to dig in and start customizing designs, right now.
Start by navigating to the Logo portion of Placeit. You can do this by either going to the Logos or Gaming sections of the site.
If you think you might like to look at other genres or industries for your logo design, feel free to check out the general Logos section. Otherwise, let’s head right over to Gaming.
In these sections, make sure to select the appropriate category, such as Gaming Teams or Logos, depending on which starting point you choose.
Step 2
Next, browse through the selection of premade clan logo template designs. If something catches your eye, jump right in—you can customize the content. Think of this as your starting point, rather than your final design.
In this tutorial, we’ll work with this one, so follow that link if you’d like to work along with me.
Step 3
And here we are, ready to jump right in and customize our logo. Before we do so, make sure to note the save and favorite buttons, on the right-hand side of your browser’s window.
2. How to Create a Gaming Clan Logo Using a Gaming Clan Logo Maker
Step 1
Now, let’s dig right into how to make a clan logo!
On the left-hand side, we can make adjustments to our text. For example, we can change what the text says, the font itself, and the color of the text.
Try out different fonts and colors! Your logo will update in the browser as you make changes.
Step 2
Speaking of color, we can also change the colors within the logo itself. In this example design, we have three colors: a main color, an accent, and the background color. Experiment with the color scheme, and Placeit will update the colors in the logo, right in your browser. Cool, right?
Note that you can also choose a transparent background. This is really handy if you plan to make things like stickers or use the logo in your Twitch overlay.
Step 3
Then, we can also change up the imagery—and this is more than changing the image itself. We can also tweak the image’s colors.
Note that some images have a small play icon preview on them. This indicates that this image also has a unique animation. So, if you know you want an animated logo, you might want to keep an eye out for this option. The other images use a more standard animation.
However, if you prefer one of the static images, don’t worry—we can still use it in an animation too, right here in Placeit. You have plenty of options.
Here’s our sample logo with a new image, adjusted color scheme, and some adjusted text. Remember, you can freely adjust all of these attributes as much as you want, until you come up with the perfect logo.
Step 4
Happy with your logo? Remember, you can save your draft, if you’re not sure yet.
However, if you’re ready to download, it’s as simple as clicking Download, at the top of the screen. You’ll be presented with your download options—a single low fee, or a subscription that allows you to create and download as much as you like.
When creating logos, the subscription is super price effective (and often lower than a single purchase) especially if you know you’d like to download and create variants of your logo.
3. How to Create an Animated Gaming Clan Logo
Step 1
So, you can make some pretty cool clan logos on Placeit—but there’s even more to see. You can also make animated gaming clan logos, perfect for video introductions, highlight videos, and so much more. If you’re curious about how to create a gaming clan logo that animates, stay tuned.
Many of the static logos also have an animated variant, just like this one we’ve been working on.
Step 2
Just like when we were working with static imagery, it’s simple to start customizing our animated logo. For example, let’s change up the imagery. There’s plenty to choose from here, and it’s all available for commercial use.
Again, just as we did earlier, simply browse and select any image you would like to preview.
Step 3
After you choose a new image, Placeit will automatically update your video preview for you. Be patient on this—it might need a moment’s wait. Then, go ahead and preview your animation.
Step 4
But let’s say you made a static logo that you really fell in love with—or you already have a logo design you love. No problem, we can upload your logo—either the static one you made on Placeit or an image logo from elsewhere—and add it to our animation too!
How? Well, we can also add additional slides to our animations here. Let’s test this out.
Click where it says Add Slide to add more video content to your animated logo.
Step 5
Next, choose a video template to work with. For this example, let’s try out this animated introduction, highlighted below. It already has a place ready for us to upload our static image logo.
Step 6
Once you’ve selected it, click where it says Upload Image to go ahead and upload a static image. It’ll add your image to the animated template. It’s really that simple!
Step 7
I’m going to test this out with the original, static image logo concept we created and downloaded earlier. Placeit allows you to crop and adjust your image before it imports it into the animation.
When you’re happy with how your upload looks, just click Crop.
Step 8
And now the placeholder in the animation will be replaced with our upload. Simple, right? Just click on Preview Video to check out what your work looks like.
Step 9
We can continue to push this further with even more slides. For example, we could try out this animated background with animated text. We could use it to describe the match, list the players, and give other important information about the game at hand.
Just like our logo, we can change the text, the colors, the fonts, and more!
Step 10
You can preview your adjustments individually, in each slide, or you can watch them all together, as one finished video.
To do so, mouse over the video preview and click on the triangle to display more options. Choose either Single Slide or All Slides, depending on the preview you’d like to see.
Step 11
You can also rearrange and delete your slides.
Click and drag on a slide to rearrange it in your timeline, shown at the bottom of your screen. So, for example, we could slide the first slide to the end, if we wanted to.
Step 12
To delete a slide, simply mouse over the slide and then select Delete. It’s that simple!
You can also duplicate slides from the menu that appears here, if you’d like to.
Step 13
Remember, you can also save drafts of your work. This gets extra important to note when you’re working with video. Click the icon in the right-hand corner of the screen, or add the template you’re customizing to your favorites, so you can work with it again later, too.
You’ll need a free Placeit account to save your work.
Step 14
Once you’re happy with your video, it’s as simple as clicking Download. Your video will need to process, and you’ll need to choose your purchase options. Then, your video creation is all yours—ready to use for personal, professional, and commercial use.
Not sure if your video is just right? Grab a free, watermarked low-res version of your video if you need to test it out first.
