Interactive checkout rating slider featuring an animated emoji face that morphs from sad to happy by scrubbing CSS keyframes.

Interactive Keyframe-Scrubbing Face Rating Slider

This interactive rating slider features an animated face that morphs smoothly between various emotional states. Built with vanilla JS and CSS, the script maps the slider’s percentage value directly to negative animation-delay custom properties. This scrubs through paused keyframe animations to morph facial geometries, skew eyes via clip-path polygons, and cycle HSL gradient hues.
