Overview

The demo is a notebook list with one note. Opening it updates the page address, so the browser Back button returns to the list with the reverse motion, and focus moves to the note title. Motion: enter: 260 ms, cubic-bezier(0.2,0.8,0.2,1); exit: 180 ms, cubic-bezier(0.4,0,1,1). Every duration and easing curve lives in one tokens file, so changing a value there changes the motion everywhere. With reduced motion turned on, the component changes state without movement and stays fully usable. Built with React 19 and TypeScript, Tailwind CSS 4 and Motion, with keyboard and screen reader behavior written into the component. Light and dark themes come from CSS variables you can edit. Included: the component source, shared motion tokens, light and dark theme variables, a runnable demo page, and setup guides for people and for AI coding agents.
