This week’s episode is with Janum Trivedi who makes some of the most stunning prototypes in all of design. So the main goal of this conversation is to answer the question “what makes a piece of software feel great?”

Some of the key talking points:

The 3 levels of animation
Shipping a major refresh of the Netflix iOS app
Why shaders are a big deal (and how they work)
How Janum built the download animation for Arc
Why Janum built his own animation engine (Wave)
Learning the principles of fluid design working on the iPad pointer
a lot more
