It's pretty cool! As experiments I really love andy.works' work. I appreciate what he's trying to accomplish. And I think he's on to something with the idea. But the execution is always a little off to me.
I just don't find this checkbox all that satisfying. Why? The thing I find satisfying about checkboxes is the same as any switch – the click. On/off. It's snappy. I don't think about it. Click... click... click click!
So this grandiose check animation is taking something inherently snappy and prolonging it to its own defeat. Even the sound effect is like an ethereal chime or something, rather than a snap. The scale is super big for the actual space of the phone. The animation too long. I also don't like the angle of the 3D checkmark itself. It's not really oblique, not really at any sort of satisfying geometric angle? I can live with that though.
Anyway really cool work. Wish it were more satisfying.
- luuio 4y agoI share exactly your sentiment. The snappy on/off is what makes the checkbox satisfying for me. The "ding" whenever you check an item off the list in Wunderlist comes to mind.
- spandrew 4y agoYea excellent example. Much more satisfying!
- smusamashah 4y agoMicrosoft Todo does a nice "ding" when an item is checked and that item disappears. I find that very satisfying.
