So we all know how to move things around in straight lines with JS or CSS, but doing slightly more complex movements, along curves or angles, calls for a different approach. This is where SVG paths comes in handy.

Lets imagine an "S" path shape where an element needs to move from top to bottom along the "S" shape. What we do is very simple and all you need is some program such as Adobe Illustrator that can output SVG files. So you basically need to fire up the program, place an image of the shape in the document and start drawing the path along it, then save the document as SVG, copy the path to the code and that's it. Ho, and the code is super light and efficient, just about 60 lines of code (~1.5 KB) (without comments).

Browsers compatibility: IE9+ and basically all other modern browsers that supports SVG
