 * I am redoing my WP site, and I’ve checked out some squarespace.com demos to see
   what they have.
 * I see some new effects that subtly move in side to side, up or down, and appear
   one at a time, as one scrolls. I suspect they’re either CSS or js animations.
 * this one fades in, moves up:
    `https://bailard-demo.squarespace.com/?nochrome
   =false`
 * “squeezes” in, outside to inside:
 *     ```
       https://clarkson-demo.squarespace.com/?nochrome=false
       https://noll-demo.squarespace.com/?nochrome=false
       ```
   
 * “paints” the image 1/2 up, 1/2 down:
    `https://carmine-demo.squarespace.com/?
   nochrome=false`
 * There’s about 20 on `https://www.squarespace.com/templates`. Not all have such
   effects.
 * How do we do such things in WP?

 * I only looked at the first two, but I must say those are not subtle.
    They use
   JS. They are the type of thing that I as a reviewer of themes here fight against
   when I see them in the theme submitted. Any time the content is manipulated with
   JS, it is not accessible to some visitors. It is also very frustrating to have
   moving text or images. It is bad for screenshots and printing the page, since
   you have to scroll to show the content. It is probably bad for search engines.
   The effect gets old after one page, so the visitor leaves. It makes your site
   feel slow.

 * ok, thanks.
    we all like different things. I do like it, and see plenty of others
   not using it. I suppose code could be added that checks if the feature can be
   displayed, and serve it without the effect if it does not. Maybe even a subtle
   on/off for screenshots and printing.
