Your logic is wrong, because it rests on the assumption that everyone agrees using animated radio buttons is a bad idea. Given the number of GitHub stars, upvotes on here, and general use of animation like this across the internet, it's not universally considered a bad idea.
- creshal 10y agoUX design is not a popularity contest, for fuck's sake.
- Semiapies 10y agoThere is a popular confusion of "design" and "making things look fun or pretty".
- blowski 10y agoThere is also a popular confusion that design has nothing to do with "making things look fun or pretty", and that anything done to make a site look more attractive is either a waste of time or counter-productive.
- blowski 10y agoTo some extent it is - sites with better UX will tend to become more popular. I agree that animated radio buttons is probably going to be a bad UX decision in the majority of cases. The reason I mentioned its stars and upvotes is precisely to point out that some people may have a valid use case for this, and you can't rule it out completely for every radio button on every website.
- Semiapies 10y agoYou know, the number of upvotes on this submission is interesting. There have been much more impressive pure-CSS checkbox-styling and -animating demos, but those posts never got remotely the upvotes of this one.
