The animation can trigger migraines

[MarjaE2]

If I visit the front page here:

https://github.com/

I get hit with a lot of animation, and can get a migraine as a result. For example, if I click on the search bar on the upper left, the menu text slides to the right. This hurts, and triggers my migraines.

If I scroll down, the left side of the screen, following standard web design practices, soon stops scrolling, while the rest of the page continues. This hurts, and triggers my migraines.

@MarjaE2 do you make use of "prefers reduce motion" at the operating system level? I'm wondering if we should do more for users with this setting and whether this technique could be used to help you in this situation.

[MarjaE2]

Yes.
