🔥 In Part 17 of the Mastering CSS series, we dive into the Ripple Effect Animation — a smooth, expanding wave that simulates touch or click feedback using only HTML and CSS.

✅ What you’ll learn in this video:
✔️ Structuring elements for interactive ripple triggers (e.g., buttons or divs)
✔️ Creating circular wave animations using @keyframes and transform: scale()
✔️ Using position, overflow, and border-radius to contain the ripple
✔️ Animating opacity and timing for a realistic fading effect
✔️ Reusing and customizing ripple styles across components

💡 Why the Ripple Effect Animation Matters:
🔹 Adds immediate, tactile feedback to UI interactions
🔹 Mimics popular design systems like Material Design
🔹 Enhances user experience with visual responsiveness
🔹 No JavaScript required — fast, elegant, and efficient
