The `clip-path` CSS property is not only used for creating specific shapes but also for various animations. It allows for hardware-accelerated interactions without additional DOM elements, making it a more performant choice over traditional methods. Examples include before-and-after sliders, text masks, image reveal effects, and scrolling animations. Advanced interactions can be achieved using libraries like Framer Motion. The potential for creativity with `clip-path` is vast, offering numerous ways to enhance web animations.

Great … Hi guys I created this two days my new website… How can I show it to the world of web dev to get feedbacks?

good for scroll animations, not so much for off canvas or dropdown menu so overflow is still king

Good article, but it has a mistake. It says “circle(50% at 50% 50%) means that the circle will have a border radius of 50% and will be positioned at 50%…”
That’s actually not true. It will have a radius of 50%, not a border radius. These are some different things :)
