Cute (and I mean that sincerely, not sarcastically), and I appreciate that it appears to gracefully degrade for `@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)`, but for the demo site, it would probably be a good idea to allow the user to override that without having to change their system settings, or at least alert them that they won't see the animations.

I'm glad I read your comment, I missed that it intentionally gracefully degraded and assumed it was broken, as I'd forgotten I'd set that.

PSA: Apple menu > System Settings > Accessibility > Motion

These cool demos come up now and again and it always takes me a minute to remember I have reduced motion. But for that minute I was disappointedly clicking around thinking "Whats the big deal?"

Would also be trivial for the author to add a warning for users that have that setting enabled. Something like "Heads-up: you have requested reduced motion, and this library disabled animations as per your request"

Point taken and now you both get notifications as well as a pretty bunny icon to click on, to over rule the system settings.
