docs: animate the handbook figures with WebP walkthroughs - #58
Merged
Conversation
…figures Replaces the static screenshots in the figures that show something happening with short, looping, animated WebP clips (much lighter and crisper than GIF in the in-app handbook, which renders in a browser): - My leave — the balance ring counting up - Requesting — filling in the request form (now WebP in-app; the README keeps the GIF for GitHub autoplay) - For team leads — opening a request and switching Details → Coverage (the two side-by-side stills collapse into one clip) - Team page — paging the month timeline - Recording absences — the confidential category dropdown opening - Managing absences — applying a type filter - Insights — the meter bars animating in The genuinely static figures (dashboard widget, settings, entitlement editor, statistics, who's-off, sick-leave) stay as crisp stills. Total handbook imagery is ~10 MB of WebP — far less than the equivalent GIFs. Stale PNG/GIF assets the handbook no longer references are removed.

…loading skeleton The first take captured the loading skeleton and empty space (it started recording before the data arrived), which read as broken. Re-recorded as a smooth scroll down the loaded page — tiles → approval health → Bradford → utilisation → liability — so every section is shown with real data.

Follows #57. Replaces the static screenshots in the handbook figures that show something happening with short, looping, animated WebP clips — much lighter and crisper than GIF for the in-app handbook, which renders in a real browser.
Now animated (WebP):
Left as crisp stills (a loop would add motion but no information): dashboard widget, availability settings, entitlement editor, statistics, who's-off, sick-leave.
Weight: ~10 MB of WebP for seven animated figures — roughly a third of the equivalent GIFs. Recorded on the dev instance with a neutralised backdrop and a tutorial cursor (Playwright → ffmpeg frames →
img2webp). Stale PNG/GIF assets the handbook no longer references are deleted. All figures verified loading in-app.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
