Micro-interactions

Summary

Small, focused moments of interaction — a like button animating, a pull-to-refresh spinner — that provide feedback and add personality without being the main point of the interface.

• 1Identify 3 micro-interactions you enjoy in apps you use and describe what makes them work.
• 2Design a simple micro-interaction (e.g. a button state change) for a practice project.
• 3Learn why subtlety matters — an overdone micro-interaction becomes annoying, not delightful.
