A ✨first look✨ at `snapChanged` in Chrome Canary
```js
document.addEventListener('snapchanged', e => {
console.log('changed', e.snapTargets)
})
```
get notified when a snap scroller has changed the snap item, and access the node with `event.snapTargets` 🤓
Snap 2 CSS spec draft https://drafts.csswg.org/css-scroll-snap-2/#snap-events
@slightlyoff Flacker has ideas for snap inertia's but not for mouse drag. i personally find mouse flinging coarse and clumsy, but it is a common feature of sliders or carousels, so could/should eventually make it's way in. maybe that'd be a good touch-action value?
also, hi Alex, hope you're well 🙂
@argyleink Yeah, it's bewildering that we don't have a touch-action value for it yet; forced folks to do a lot of extra work.
On snap spring/values, why isn't any of this hooked up to animation worklets yet? Every year I lose more hope.
@slightlyoff afaik, animation worklets are on ice, and waapi is seeking to resume parts where it left off
def pour one out for Houdini… may they rise again one day
@argyleink This seems like a mistake? We're unable to meanginfully do scroll-based animations with trigger points, and the scroll timeline stuff isn't hooked up to script in a compelling way from *any* API...and WAAPI won't provide an off-thread way to handle any of that.
Is this a cluster, or am I missing something?
Entry animations are pretty common on the web. Currently in order to trigger time-based animations when an element enters the viewport we have to use IntersectionObserver. The problems with this: r...
Blink has PaintWorklets which allow painting customization off-thread in a principled way since 2018. We've yet to see implementation by other engines https://caniuse.com/?search=PaintWorklet or significant use by developers: https://chromestatus.com/metrics/feature/timeline/popularity/2385
Animation worklets are even less clear how we would make them ergonomic, useful, fast. We're thinking through some of the ways we could get there but these are independently useful features - like SDA - which we have seen interest from gecko and webkit on.
