This always felt hacky to me, "animating" visibility instead is a great idea. Thanks for sharing!

That's been a thing for almost a decade now. I don't do much CSS anymore but I think not enough people have been using it

Thanks for mentioning this, I never knew you could do this, that would make my hacky CSS+JS animations a lot less hacky :D.
