Unbelievably, the claps in the music sync’d in exact time with the clap animation at the bottom. (It didn’t do this the second time, very pleased with the serendipity)

A beautiful thing .

Haha! Yes! I matched the frame rate of the gif with the time of the beat. It doesn’t sync up every time but when it does it’s magic. ✨

Eyes get wider as the animated claps at the end sync with the music. Amazing Erik! Thank you!

Including music really set the tone. Excited to see how this format progresses!

Thanks Rohan. I was worried the music wouldn’t play, and spam blockers would flag an image-heavy email. But it seems to have gotten through alright. Email is such a restrictive format but that’s precisely what leads to creative workarounds. More to come!
