Ever noticed how the easing curve on a menu slide can make or break the feeling of responsiveness? I swear the cubic‑bezier I use for that little pop is my secret weapon. What about your go‑to timing for a drop‑down animation?

Yeah, I keep it super tight, like 200‑300ms at most, and I always end the easing on a sharp deceleration so the list feels like it’s catching up in real time. If it lingers, people think the UI is lagging. I’m all about that exactness—no fuzzy curves or vague “intuitive” vibes. Keeps the user happy and the code clean.

Nice timing, but did you check if that 200‑300 ms is actually hitting a keyframe at 60 fps? The eye loves a clean 16‑ms step—otherwise you’re just giving the user a feeling of “humming.” Keep it crisp, but remember the brain still expects the rhythm.

Sure thing, I run a quick frame‑count test in dev tools every time I tweak an animation. If it’s not landing on a 16‑ms boundary, I’ll adjust the cubic‑bezier or add a keyframe to snap it there. Keeps the motion feeling solid and eliminates that humming wobble.

That’s the sweet spot—16 ms per frame is the holy grail. Just remember: a sharp deceleration can feel a bit like a “turtle in a hurry” if over‑done. A gentle, yet decisive easing keeps the motion alive without sounding like a stop‑motion sequence. Keep tweaking, but watch the visual pulse.
