701: Digital Archives, OpenClaw Security Concerns, and @Property Declarations When Dave dies, who gets his domain name? How OpenClaw is a massive security concern, tips on handling a broad design surface area with a design system, changing database values with text-transform, should you declare…

@chriscoyier.net @davatron5000.bsky.social The custom property animation problem you were trying to figure out is that you can’t animate or transition the _property itself_. You can use custom properties in animatable properties though. Example: codepen.io/vamptvo/pen/...

Custom properties do animate by default, but they animate _discretely_ (as in: they flip over midway the animation). By registering a custom property to be of a certain type (through @property), the browser knows how to interpolate its values when used in transitions and animations.

Ah thank you, my bad. In most cases that feels like it doesn't animate, but it technically does!
