Lucas and Luna dive into the CSS `prefers-reduced-motion` media query — a browser feature that 30% of users enable, yet most web apps ignore. They unpack real research from the Web Almanac showing that only 2.9% of sites respect this preference, and discuss how excessive animations can trigger vestibular disorders, distracting interactions, and battery drain. Using concrete examples like a Netflix-style carousel and a custom scroll-triggered parallax, they show how to detect the preference, swap CSS animations for transitions, and use JavaScript's `matchMedia` for fallback logic. The episode also covers the ethical angle: respecting user settings isn't just accessibility — it's basic UX. A practical, code-light guide for developers who want to make their sites more inclusive without losing visual polish.
