It looks harmless enough, until you hover over it...

Rive is an animation platform that specializes in state machines and UI. I came across them, and that's when I saw there "Get Started" button. I already had experienced what there platform could do through Duolingo, as all of Duolingo's animations are from Rive.

There was the button. I go to click it, when instantly I'm sold. Here is what happens when you hover on it:

Kaboom. A spaceship appears, an astronaut comes out, and behold, a cute animation plays.

I pull my cursor away, and behold, it folds back into a button again.

Why did I post about one cool button? I am a frontend developer, and I love animations. That includes GSAP, Lottie, etc. People say they are bad for accessibility? I don't care. YOU are bad for accessibility. (Just kidding)

Thanks for reading this boring page.

_Note: _ I would recommend you see this for yourself, as the GIF at the top is laggy. Go to https://rive.app/, scroll down and hover on the button
