Episode notes
Meaningful Animation
- Use animation in user interfaces purposefully, not just for visual appeal.
- Too much animation can make software feel clunky, while too little can make it feel lifeless.
Prioritize Core Journeys
- Consider the frequency of user interactions when designing animations.
- Prioritize core user journeys and common actions for optimal animation implementation.
Real-World Testing
- Test animations thoroughly in real-world usage scenarios, not just prototypes.
- Repeated use can reveal whether an animation feels right or becomes annoying over time.
