        <h2>Settings</h2>
        <p>This could be some sort of settings or interface panel where you can adjust your preferences. Maybe you want to give the option to show text next to the icons instead of collapsed ones. In that case you can check the following checkbox and the width will animate thanks to <br /><code>interpolate-size: allow-keywords</code>.</p>
        <label class="expand">
          <input type="checkbox" class="toggle-nav" />
          Expand navigation
        </label>
      </div>
      <div class="card">
        <h2>Notification</h2>
        <p>Another nice to have with <code>interpolate-size: allow-keywords</code> is quickly show full content height for example:</p>
        <div class="alert" role="alert" id="alert">
          <h3>This is a warning</h3>
          <div class="text">With a whole lot of text that you might not want to show right away. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Cras convallis sodales erat vel accumsan.

        <h2>More</h2>
        This is just the beginning. It is just one of those quality of life improvements that makes animation a lot less tedious. From alerts, to navigations to accordions. This is defintatly one for my reset CSS :)
