Motion
Motion at Halide is precise and brief, like an instrument settling on a reading. Things arrive fast and stop exactly; nothing drifts. One curve and three timings cover the product, the docs and the site.
Three habits keep motion feeling like Halide.
Our curve leaves fast and lands exactly. Use it for anything that arrives, moves or leaves, in place of a tool's default. Small things take the fast timing, most moves the base, and a panel or a page the slow one. With reduced motion on, every move becomes a short fade.
The curve on the pieces every screen has: a button pressing, a toggle switching, a side panel opening from its control, a log row arriving, a modal confirming. The cross settles into place the same way.
Three calls that come up in almost every screen.
Fade in, then settle on our curve.
Bounce, spring or slide in from off screen.
Let the Signal gradient glow once, then hold.
Pulse or flash it on a loop.
With reduced motion on, use a short fade instead of a move.
Animate charts or large panels.
