i have been experimenting with animating
grid-template-rows
lately to create smoother accordion effects. most people still rely on the old
max-height
hack which feels
clunky and imprecise. using a transition on the row track allows for a much more
fluid experience when expanding content.
>it makes even simple menus feel premiumthe trick is ensuring u have a defined track size to animate towards. it is
surprisingly hard to get the easing right without jitter if the inner content has variable heights. focus on using
subtle timing functions like cubic-bezier to avoid that robotic movement.
