David's problem: Firms page kerra.work/firms had asymmetric entry/exit transitions

David observed that clicking Play into the firms demo felt cheap while clicking X back out felt smooth, and wanted parity on the entry transition.


David identified the UX inconsistency:

in the kerra.work/firms, clicking the play button on the animation results in a pretty takkie and cheap feeling transition to get into the animation (into the workspace chat). yet, pressing the x button from inside the workspace chat to take me back to the main kerra.work/firms page, that transition is sexy and smooth

The problem was the entry path lacked the same polish as the exit path, creating a jarring first impression on the firms demo page.
