Learning Log, Apr 2025
The biggest share of my brainspace at work lately: Webflow + GSAP have made the GSAP library 100% free! Everyone in the web community can use all of GSAP—including previously-paid plugins—for free, whether on or off Webflow. We’ve also made the library suuuuper easy to install on Webflow sites, to use with custom code.
It has been such a lovely experience working with Jack and Cassie from GSAP, and having them join our Interactions crew at Webflow. There’s so much more around the corner—can’t wait for us to be able to share with everyone!
🧶 Crafting
- Still knitting my first pair of colorwork socks. I’m almost to the toes on sock #1!
- Followed along with a couple backlist Scribble Brigades from Sophie McPike’s Patreon
🧙🏻♀️ Side quests
- Made mochi for the first time. The top of it looked a little weird because I didn’t realize for most of the bake that I needed to cover it with tin foil. Still tasted like mochi though!
- Participated in the Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon again. I only read for 7 hours total this time, but I was to get through my library book backlog, so I’m calling that a win. 2025 is on track so far to be a pretty meh reading year (again).
🛜 On the internet
- More of this, please
- I did not have “Homestar Runner describes my worldview in a little ditty” on my 2025 bingo card but I’m glad for this surprise! (via Sam)
