> “It’s like iOS animations, when closing an app, and seeing the app get sucked into it’s icon. It’s so quick and subtle, you barely notice it.” it’s decidedly not quick and subtle. ios animations are blocking, so anytime i try to do things faster than the animation can finish, i very much notice it (particularly acutely when typing in my passcode). i hate that i have a “supercomputer” in my pocket and yet i can outpace it on a keyboard because of poor programming/user experience. with that said, i agree that non-blocking and subtle animations do help us better intuit the user interface if done thoughtfully.
